NIST Reviews Standards for Network Access Control Programs and Others

In the long run, the action can be instrumental to assuring computer users of the privacy of the information they share over the Web, as well as boosting security systems for businesses using encryption protocols. The institute reinforced this in their official announcement by saying, “If any current guidance does not meet the high standards set out in this process, we will address these issues as quickly as possible.”

Where vendors of network access protection systems and other security programs are concerned, the possible revamp and resulting recommendations will do much to improve the way they design their products. Respected providers such as Access Smart, LLC will then be able to fortify their features so they can grant optimum security to customers’ information at the point-of-entry.

Why Proper Network Access Control Is Very Important for Businesses

“Last January 28, 2013, a ComputerWeekly article discussed why network access control (NAC) hasn’t caught on with most companies. For all its benefits, some businesses have failed to see the need for NAC. Such shortsightedness can backfire upon those companies who failed to implement some form of administration over their networks.

A well-defined network access control system can do a lot of good for a company by securing its network from outside intrusion. However, it’s not something any IT department can implement, let alone maintain. If a company has difficulty laying down an NAC system, it shouldn’t be afraid to ask for help from an access management solutions firm like Access Smart, LLC.”
