Is NAC Hot, Or Not?

This is InformationWeek Analytics' fourth year tracking the state of NAC adoption. It's been fascinating to see firsthand the arc of a technology, from media darling to sitting on the sidelines, watching as new starlets like cloud computing grab all the glory. Something like Etta James watching Beyonce belt out "At Last," but without the smack talk.Fortunately, Mike Fratto, one of the foremost industry experts on network access control, has been on the beat since the beginning, putting the maturation of the technology and vendors in perspective.

For the first time, we're issuing an open invitation to readers of InformationWeek and our sister sites to weigh in on the state of NAC. The survey, which runs until March 5, will take approximately 10 minutes to finish, and upon completion you'll be eligible to enter a drawing to receive one Apple 16-GB iPod touch valued at $299.
