Cisco to Open Source CTA

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the all-skate-everyone-skate dept.

VE3OGG writes "Cisco, the networking Goliath, has decided to release the source code of its NAC (network admission control) client, Cisco Trust Agent (CTA) to the open source community within 'a few months.' This comes hot on the heels of Cisco announcing its plans to redevelop a new breed of network security infrastructure. 'CTA will be something that's open source. That's just logically where it should end up,' Gleichauf told InfoWorld. 'We don't want to be in the CTA business, so we're going to just open it up.'"

    And if this doesn't help then the Chicago Transit Authority will file a lawsuit against Cisco: While the band toured the album, legal action was threatened by the actual Chicago Transit Authority, forcing the group to reduce their name to, simply, Chicago.

    P.S. - CTA President Frank Kruesi deserves to be fired.
