Despite some shortcomings, software-based network access control technology that enforces policies on network endpoints is often the first choice of customers who adopt the technology Often a corporation already uses a suite of endpoint-security software to which it can add a NAC endpoint client, minimizing the training and investment required. For example, Hidalgo County Texas, looked into a Cisco NAC appliance deployment to solve its endpoint-compliance problems, says Renan Ramirez, the county's CIO. "The Cisco solution was going to cost six figures," he says, but the county chose a Sophos NAC, which cost about $50,000.
