Cisco Systems and the Migration from Network Access Control (NAC) to Endpoint Visualization, Access, and Security (EVAS)

Network access controls are nothing new. Many organizations have used technologies like RADIUS servers and 802.1X supplicants for years to allow guest access to corporate LANs or identify corporate devices as they access wireless networks. While network access controls (NACs) are not a new concept, many security professionals still equate them with a series of NAC technologies that first appeared a decade ago. This common perception is well behind the times because NAC has gone through a profound evolution and has become a much more comprehensive and useful security technology.

IoT Antennas – Accelerate IoT device time-to-market by combining antennas and modules

whitePaper | April 28, 2021

Alongside connectivity and power, a third area – the antenna – needs to be equal attention because of the fundamental impact it has on device performance. The antenna is the means by which an IoT device receives and sends signals to the outside world and therefore is a fundamental element of an IoT device. However, antenna decisions are often neglected until the end of the development process, resulting in unnecessary compromises and sub-optimal siting of antennas that could have been avoided with better planning and design.
