I am definitely not defending their behaviour. You can't criticize one one method and then hype a solution that is marginally better, especially using that venue. The point I was making is that I understand why people develop and market solutions using lesser technologies. I think there may be times when for what ever reason (simplicity, cost, etc.)a non-802.1x solution may be a valid option. Thanks for the clarification on MS NAP using IPSec. I was not aware of it. --Chris Alan – Thanks for the note. I am definitely not defending their behaviour.

The biggest thing though is you are coming in half way through this. I did not go up in front of the world at Black Hat and present how all the other NAC solutions could be bypassed and then come out with one that is at best no better. I am going to more fully respond to this on my blog at http;//www.stillsecureafteralltheseyears.com Chris – I half agree with you and half disagree.
