What is TCG announcing?
A. TCG is announcing a major addition to the Trusted Network Connect (TNC) architecture. The existing architecture (released in 2004) defined open standards for Network Access Control (NAC). TCG is now extending the TNC architecture by adding two new architectural components and a new standard protocol (IF-MAP). These additions extend the TNC architecture to support standardized, dynamic data interchange among a wide variety of networking and security components, enabling customers to implement multi-vendor systems that provide coordinated defense-in-depth.
