Chapter 11. Flipping the Switch
In This Chapter
Preparing to deploy NAC
Evaluating your deployment before you enforce it
Looking into best practices and professional help
You need a properly planned and executed deployment to have a successful access control implementation. No matter how well you determine the appropriate policies for your organizational needs, and regardless of whether you partner with the best possible vendor, a poor rollout upsets your end users, harms productivity, and leaves wagging fingers pointed at you.
In this chapter, we explore how to plan for a successful NAC deployment. We take you through proof-of-concept testing, piloting, and initial rollouts that focus on evaluation rather than enforcement — these NAC deployment steps give you a sense for what will happen when you fully implement NAC and control who can get on your network.
