whitepaper Gartner MarketScope for Network Access Control, 2008 brought to you by Sophos2008-05-01 Sophos
  About half of the vendors in the network access control market are startup companies, most of which will grow in 2008. Starting in 2009, the overall market will begin to consolidate, as established network and security vendors embed and enhance NAC functions into their products. This Gartner report assessed vendors on the following criteria: market understanding, marketing strategy, sales strategy, offering (product) strategy, overall viability (business unit, financial, strategy, organization) and sales execution and pricing. This report is brought to you by Sophos.

whitepaper NAC at the endpoint: Control your network through device compliance2008-05-01 Sophos
  Protecting IT networks used to be a straightforward case of encircling computers and servers with a firewall and ensuring that all traffic passed through just one gateway. However, the increase in mobile workers, numbers and type of device and the amount of non-employees requiring network access, has led to a dissolving of that network perimeter. Access requests can come from anyone and anywhere, which is why organizations are turning to network access control (NAC) technologies. This paper discusses why NAC is important and how it should be implemented on the endpoint for maximum protection.

whitepaper Enabling the High-Performance Next Generation Firewall2008-04-04 Crossbeam Systems
  The traditional practice of deploying an ever-increasing number of appliances and applications to combat increasing security risks creates an infrastructure that is too complex, costly, and slow to react to new threats. Nowadays, enterprises managers want to move to a new kind of virtualized security architecture that supports the requirements of a Next Generation Firewall, but also consolidates deployments, reduces cost, and delivers much faster threat response. Crossbeam Systems, working closely with Check Point and Sourcefire, has developed a tightly coupled, high-performance, scalable, and reliable Next Generation Firewall solution that has been designed from the ground up to offer the best protection and performance for detecting and eliminating multiple levels of threats that target mission critical IT infrastructure and data.

whitepaper Moving Toward Network Security and Firewalls for Protecting and Preserving Private Resources on the Internet2008-03-04 Journal of Theoretical and Applied Information Technology
  Computer and network security are challenging topics among executives and managers of computer corporations. Internet security is the practice of protecting and preserving private resources and information on the Internet. Even discussing security policies may seem to create a potential liability. As a result, enterprise management teams are often not aware of the many advances and innovations in Internet and intranet security technology. Without this knowledge, corporations are not able to take full advantage of the benefits and capabilities of the network.

whitepaper Formal Verification of Firewall Policies2008-02-23 Michigan State University
  Firewalls are the mainstay of enterprise security and the most widely adopted technology for protecting private networks. The quality of protection provided by a firewall directly depends on the quality of its policy (i.e., configuration). Due to the lack of tools for verifying firewall policies, most firewalls on the Internet have been plagued with policy errors. A firewall policy error either creates security holes that will allow malicious traffic to sneak into a private network or blocks legitimate traffic and disrupts normal business processes, which in turn could lead to irreparable, if not tragic, consequences. This paper proposes a firewall verification tool in this paper. This tool takes as input a firewall policy and a given property, then outputs whether the policy satisfies the property.
