Channel insiders insist the network access control (NAC) market is in rude
health despite the demise of NAC vendors Lockdown Networks and Vernier Networks.
Lockdown Networks closed for business on 18 March, citing slower than
predicted adoption of NAC. Rival Vernier has confirmed it will stop taking
orders for its NAC products after rebranding itself as Autonomic Networks.
Cohort
Technology, a distributor for rival NAC vendor ForeScout, has launched a
buy-back programme aimed at Lockdown and Vernier customers and partners.
Grahame Smee, managing director of Cohort, said: “The NAC market is still
strong, but you must have the right product for the market.”
David Hobson, managing director of Vernier reseller
GSS,
said he would consider any alternative that was right for GSS clients.
“NAC has been overhyped, but the need for it is greater than ever. If you
look at the de-perimeterisation of the network, NAC is very important indeed.”
