In fact we have Safe Access our NAC solution integrates and is working with Citadel, Big Fix and MS SMS. I think McAfee is more interested in using Citadel with their Foundstone/Preventsys vulnerability system at this point than NAC. Their NAC program still has a lot of growing up to do. Unless working for a McAfee partner has brought you over to the dark side ;-) Michael – I agree remediation working with NAC is very powerful.
