Connecting Security Dots: Unveiling Market Share Strategies in Network Access Control
Network Access Control (NAC) systems were developed to prevent unauthorized devices from accessing corporate networks. However, these traditional NAC systems faced limited adoption due to their complex implementation and the challenge of justifying investments with limited features. The rise of enterprise mobility, Bring Your Own Device (BYOD), and wireless security, along with the increasing complexities of endpoint security, propelled the popularity of NAC solutions. The advent of cloud computing, virtualization, the proliferation of Internet of Things (IoT), and the necessity to manage IoT, Industrial IoT (IIoT), and Operational Technology (OT) devices contributed to the evolution of modern NAC. Today, NAC systems offer an improved technology value proposition, featuring functionalities that support IoT, IIoT, and OT devices, granular segmentation, user and entity behavior monitoring, enhanced visibility, and security automation & orchestration capabilities for automate...
