Kyle will be the feature webinar presenter in an upcoming webinar from Bradford Networks on April 27, 2011. Bradford Networks is one of the top-ranked industry vendors in the network access control (NAC) space. Kyle leveraged their Network Sentry solution to enable a bring-your-own-computer (BYOC) model to the Essex Agricultural and Technical High School. When students bring their personally-owned devices to campus, they go through a registration and scanning process that protects the campus network. This allows teachers to leverage such devices on campus while still providing for the security of the campus network.
