“With the widespread move towards Zero Trust, we have seen an increase in the adoption of our enterprise NAC solution by organizations seeking an easier, extensible and more cost-effective alternative to other leading NAC products,” said Ganesh Nakhawa, director of portfolio solutions at Pulse Secure. “Our simple, modular and scalable approach to secure access allows enterprises to deliver user and device accessibility while ensuring end-to-end visibility and access compliance requirements. We are honored to receive this NAC market distinction as a technology leader, and invite customers and resellers to take our solution for a test drive.” According to the report, NAC is an approach in network security to manage and control access of endpoint devices and users to corporate networks based on an organization's security policies. Organizations access policies can be based on endpoint configuration, authentication, and/or user's identity. NAC is increasingly becoming mature and accepted as a key technology to improve an organization's overall security defenses. Both large and mid-sized organizations are looking at full-scale deployments and extending NAC security to a greater number of devices and endpoints. Traditionally, the adoption of security technologies is primarily driven by compliance to broader global regulations. In the global market, banking and financial services, education, government and healthcare sectors are the primary users of NAC solutions. However, organizations from several industry verticals are increasingly focusing on improving their security measures to enhance overall security. IT/OT convergence has resulted in increased exposure to cyberthreats to the industrial environment, and NAC vendors are expanding their capabilities to support IT/OT convergence.1 To download the SPARK Matrix™: Network Access Control (NAC), 2020 report, please visit www.pulsesecure.net/2020NACMarketOutlook/.
