Securing the network of desktop based endpoints is complex enough but when connected machines are added into the equation, the network administrator is given a completely new kind of headache. With different endpoints being classified in different ways, whether BYOD, mission critical or even life critical if we consider medical equipment, innovative means are needed to tackle the challenge in a way that doesn't compromise security or safety in such an increasingly connected world. We spoke to Scott Gordon of ForeScout Technologies about this matter and you can read the result in our article "IoT could be the next step for Next-Generation NAC"

This month's newsletter covers a special feature from Securitas on the challenge of meeting innovative airport security requirements whilst staying within budgetary constraints that are being squeezed more and more tightly all the time.
