So what exactly does this mean?

". . . and Cisco NAC support is extended to cover all NAC versions, protecting the network from infected guest hosts." Beats the heck out of me.  It is in the last line of F-Secure's press release about their new endpoint agent/suite (when did we get to the point that an agent and a suite are interchangeable anyhow?).  It comes right before the "about F-Secure" paragraph. Is it the proverbial catch all? Do they really support all NAC versions? All versions of Cisco NAC? How? Did they just want to hit all of the buzzwords?  They were sure to mention my boy Hoff's new buzzword, "the cloud". But show me an AV vendor who isn't checking the cloud these days.  The cloud is the new black.

Guys if you are going to mention something you do in your press release at least explain it so people know what you are talking about.  Also, why be the 15th AV vendor to announce what you do in the cloud and make it like your unique.  Why not just say, "we are doing what everyone else is doing".  Of course you could say you did it first. you do it better, yours is bigger or faster. etc. Hey I guess size does matter.  But talk about me too releases, come on.
