Security experts predict rough sailing ahead for network access control (NAC) vendors, as illustrated by Vernier Networks' announced name change and directional shift earlier this month. But in recent interviews, NAC providers say they have a recipe for survival -- with manageability is the main ingredient.

They admit the NAC market has become bloated in recent years, fueled by speculation that every big enterprise would clamor for NAC technology to satisfy regulatory rules and harden networks against data thieves. But demand has lagged behind expectations because NAC is seen as expensive and complicated and companies want the technology baked into their larger IT infrastructure. Therefore, IT pros are happy to sit back and see if Cisco and Microsoft will meet their NAC needs.

But Rich Mogull, a former Gartner analyst and founder of independent security consultancy Securosis, noted that Microsoft and Cisco haven't successfully provided all the manageability and functionality customers want, and that there's opportunity for vendors that can understand that.
