Interview With Paul Sangster and Steve Hanna (Trusted Computing Group)

Trusted computing -- making sure that every device attached to the network follows the rules of the network -- is a critical factor in networking as it moves forward to be the central infrastructure of the enterprise. In this on-site Interop podcast we talk with the co-chairs of the Trusted Computing Group's Trusted Network Connect Work Group. Paul Sangster, a Symantec Distinguished Engineer, and Steve Hanna, a Juniper Networks Distinguished Engineer, talked about the importance of the trust relationship between network devices, the recent announcement that Microsoft's NAP (Network Access Protection) will support the TCG's framework, and the future of trusted network access as the definition of the network and devices attached to it continue to expand.
