                         Thursday, October 25, 2007, 9:00 A.M - 11:00  
                         A.M. Little Ship Club, Bell Wharf Lane, Upper Thames  
                         Street, London. The breakfast meeting, hosted by

                         presentation and audience Q&A session on the topic 
                         of network access control. Attendees will gain a 
                         better understanding of which NAC approach is right 
                         for their specific network environment by discussing  
                         topics such as security policy management and  
                         enforcement, as well as deployment and integration. 
 
    Topics:  Discussion topics will cover the need to enforce security policy  
             over all devices in the network regardless of whether they are  
             company owned, personal, or non-user based (e.g. VoIP phones and  
             printers). Also highlighted will be how organizations can 
             achieve compliance by ensuring that only the right people with 
             the right devices have access to authorized resources, therefore 
             ensuring a secure network.
