They're bound by HIPAA, and still want this? The approach that you haven't thought of is to talk with their corporate counsel, and ask him to read HIPAA, and advise your clients about liability. Tell them to put down the crack pipe and step away. This is completely against the intent and letter of HIPAA. Insanity. The company where I work now doesn't need HIPAA compliance, and it's strictly against company policy to connect personal devices to the corporate network. Just for fun, I'll mention 3 OSS NAC packages, but I still don't think it's a good idea. http://ungoliant.sf.net http://netreg.sf.net http://freenac.net Kurt On 5/8/07, Adam Rosen <ajrosen () buffdata com> wrote:
Hi all - I have a client who wants to allow employees to use their own laptops on the corp. wireless network so that they can access files on the server. I gave them a run-down of options (allow usual file sharing [bad idea], MS VPN quarantine [complex scripting], SharePoint services [not bad, but no printer access] and third party quarantine options). Aside from any other ideas someone may have, it seems to me that the third party compliance software/appliance, while probably being the most versatile is pretty costly. I found a couple starting at about $20K. Does anybody know of any devices that are significantly cheaper and can allow my client to do what they want? I should mention that they are bound by HIPAA regulations here. Or any approaches I haven't thought of? Thanks for the input. Adam Adam J.
