This is an excerpt

Executive Summary

Client and network securities are evolving. Why? Because today's technologies do not support the requirements that businesses face, such as providing secure access to corporate resources independent of user location. Network access control (NAC) burst onto the scene to address the problems of access, but Forrester predicts that NAC as we know it today will fail. So, how can security and IT operations heads protect their firms? Look for emerging software tools — which we call proactive endpoint risk management (PERM). But you can't buy them just yet — vendors like McAfee and Symantec won't ship these next-generation products until 2008. To get started, lay the policy framework and align the right people and processes by shifting responsibility to your desktop operations team.
