Companies need to deploy a NAC solution for many reasons:
Some of these reasons are positive, such as
Leaps in business
Productivity
Technology
Some reasons are negative, such as
Hackers
Information poachers
Identity thieves
Data-nappers
Both reasons for NAC dictate greater control over networks, access to those networks, and who requires network access.
Other grounds for deploying NAC might be completely business- or market-driven, such as to address
Guest access
Outsourcing
Business continuity
Still other purposes are driven by industry or government, such as regulatory compliance and audits.

Regardless of industry, size, or demand, NAC is fast becoming a requirement. But you need to understand the reasons and forces behind the motivation to deploy NAC so that you can best match a NAC solution to your need.
