At the VMware-sponsored FutureNet conference, a Verizon spokesman shared the fundamental challenge with hybrid IT security: There isn’t a consistent construct on which to build a security enforcement plan across the public and private cloud.

The traditional approach to enterprise security relies on network access control (NAC). NAC has proven a crutch for enterprise security for years, as security professionals could loosely base identity on the node where traffic originates.
