Windows Vista: a Baby Step for Microsoft NAP

“Today [Thursday] welcomes Vista to market, at least to the businesses that have early access to Vista. While Vista brings promises for better security – IPv6 kernel, whole disk encryption and more – it only marks the client phase for Microsoft Network Access Protection. Network Access Protection requires support for both client and server which means enterprises will have to write until the end of 2007 when Windows Longhorn Server is available to fully deploy NAP. Many companies need NAC now and can’t wait another year, as evidenced by a recent Infonetics Research study that suggests 60 percent of North American large enterprises will have NAC deployed by the end of 2008.”
