Regis University Student Publications (comprehensive collection)
In the business world it is very difficult to manage and track user application installations and licensing. The primary problem with this area is currently there is no single solution that encapsulates the entire process. The current commercially available tracking systems, such as SMS, DevTrack and Installshield Tracking system, do not provide a complete solution. These products provide partial solutions. However, they do not address the entire problem. In this thesis we proposed an Application Packaging Tracking System. This system tracks application installations throughout the entire process, from submission to deployment.

Network Access Control: Disruptive Technology?, Craig Fisher
Network Access Control: Disruptive Technology?, Craig Fisher
Regis University Student Publications (comprehensive collection)
Network Access Control (NAC) implements policy-based access control to the trusted network. It regulates entry to the network by the use of health verifiers and policy control points to mitigate the introduction of malicious software. However the current versions of NAC may not be the universal remedy to endpoint security that many vendors tout. Many organizations that are evaluating the technology, but that have not yet deployed a solution, believe that NAC presents an opportunity for severe disruption of their networks. A cursory examination of the technologies used and how they are deployed in the network appears to support this …
