[Tuxaloosa] Webinar on network access controls in Trussville

A webinar discussing network access control in Trussville, AL schools
will take place on 6/15.  It's not particularly Linux-specific, but I
figured some of us might find it interesting.  It is, of course, not a
goodness-of-their-heart thing;  this will certainly be a sales event.
I will probably view it and if they have downloadable content will
share it with anyone interested.  Hopefully they'll get into some
meaty details.

Evolved approach to Network Access Control (NAC) strikes balance

Dear Cameron,

When the Trussville (Ala.) City Schools set out to keep non-Trussville
assets off its production network – a common problem in public
education – it originally went with a traditional Network Access
Control (NAC) vendor. Problem was, their issue required more than NAC
– it wasn’t just a matter of blocking non-Trussville assets, as they
found out when their NAC tool blocked devices such as printers and
cafeteria cash registers. The K-12 District wanted more finesse, and
the ability to offer students open yet controlled network access,
rather than a typical “lock and block.”

Shawn Nutting, Director of Technology, turned to Bradford Networks,
which offers an Adaptive Network Security platform that goes beyond
traditional NAC. Leveraging the District’s existing network
infrastructure, Bradford Networks has enabled Nutting and his team to:

Limit access to its wired network to Trussville devices only
Create a self-service imaging process for Trussville assets that go
out of compliance
Create device profiles and intelligently apply access rules based on
those profiles
Provide open yet controlled and secure wireless Internet access for students
We hope you’ll join us for this exclusive event. Attendees are
eligible for a special promotional offer that we’ll share during the
event. Space is limited, so register today.

Best regards,

Gregg Bjork
CEO
Bradford Networks
