Without putting out misleading press releases, I do want to mention a review that came out today that I was pretty proud of. The folks at Channel Web and CRN put out a review today of StillSecure Safe Access baked off against two well known competitors, Symantec and Sophos. You can go read the review for yourself for the entire story, but here are the final two paragraphs:

After evaluating each of these products, the Test Center found that StillSecure's Safe Access 5.0 slightly outpaced the others, followed by Symantec (NSDQ:SYMC)'s solution and then Sophos'.

Safe Access 5.0 is robust and customizable, justifying adding a NAC as an extra layer of security. Symantec offers a nice solution, but finds itself more limited than Safe Access 5.0 without deploying agents. Sophos, too, is good, but we were left wanting more. While all the solutions could be fine in particular deployments, functionality led us to choose Safe Access 5.0 first, Symantec second and Sophos third in this comparative review.

???Nuff said on that one!  In other NAC news today, Mike Fratto and the Information Week folks have released their 2008 NAC survey and Mike will be doing a follow up webcast on this on Wed, July 23rd.  Check out the site for all the details. This report is chock full of great stuff about NAC including vendor profiles.  There is a ton of great information there for anyone interested in NAC.
