Genians Showing Leadership and Capability on Frost & Sullivan’s Global Network Access Control Market, Forecast to 2024
Genians, an industry leader of Next-Gen Network Access Control (NAC) solutions for the IoT era, announced it has been named a representative vendor in Frost & Sullivan’s Global Network Access Control Market, Forecast to 2024.
This report finds that the proliferation of the Internet of Things (IoT), the convergence of information technology (IT) and operation technology (OT), and digital transformation to the cloud are rapidly demanding NAC capabilities. At the same time, the report indicates that the complexity of 802.1X deployment, surging diversity of IoT devices, and increasing NAC solution costs are the biggest obstacles facing any organizations trying to adapt NAC to secure their network.
Frost & Sullivan’s “Global Network Access Control Market, Forecast to 2024” indicates that NAC has become an important element in the development of Zero Trust Networks (ZTN) as it provides visibility, monitoring, and control at the network access layer. Indeed, NAC is the critical technology that orchestrates other core technologies to maximize cybersecurity effectiveness while achieving ZTN. To support this outcome, NAC vendors need to provide flexible deployment options based upon strong software capabilities. Even though network infrastructure is evolving quickly, many organizations still maintain legacy or hybrid environments. NAC can be delivered via a physical or virtual appliance or even in a service format.
