I'm going to assume we all looked at (and were confused by) the Cake Manual Tutorial on Access Control. I'll also assume you all want to know how you might practically use Cake AC to implement User and Group permissions. Cake Access control was not made specifically for User/Group permissions control. It is simply a generic access control system to be used for anything. It can be used for User/Group permissions, but we have a bit of work to do to figure out exactly how Network access control technology was the darling of the security industry in 2006, as vendors spent much of their time squawking about how their NAC offerings could do just about everything but cure cancer. Yet now that the hype around NAC has quieted, a clearer picture is emerging about what the technology means for the channel. So far, the news is good: Solution providers that have made time and financial commitments to learn how to deploy NAC are seeing steady services revenue before and after the actual implementation. Driven by pressures, NAC itself has become a household term, although some solution providers still find they need to educate consumers as to why they need the technology and how it can help their security posture. There appears to be lots of room for growth in the NAC market, which IDC expects to jump most of that is being driven by verticals such as finance, health care and education—all of which have compliance-related reasons for compartmentalizing their networks through access policies.
