Hoff wants to know who the IF-MAP Haz and Haz'nots are

So Chris Hoff thinks he might have come across the perfect solution to his vexing cloud/virtual security issues.  A comment from from Greg Ness over at Infoblox fired up a synapse in the Hoff's brain and he recalled that the TCG/TNC's IF-MAP protocol could really help with the whole in the cloud/virtual conundrum.  Chris wants to know how many vendors outside of the NAC space are actually supporting IF-MAP.

So while I don't stay as close to the goings on at the TCG/TNC as I would like to, let me venture a guess.  I think very few vendors are actually supporting and have implemented it.  In fact it is not just non-NAC vendors, it is NAC vendors as well. Other than Juniper, I am not aware of another NAC vendor who actually supports MAP yet. Not because we don't want to, it is just not important enough. I was also very jazzed about it last year at Interop. Customers have not demanded it. So no one has the cycles to spend on it. Yes Infoblox would make the comment on your blog.  I think they are the people who originally came up with the idea and pushed it through the TCG with their own server as the storage container.  Beyond that I though ArcSight was behind it, but don't know how far they have gone either.

Chris unfortunately like the TCG/TNC NAC standard itself, without more customers demanding it, it remains in the nice to have category instead of the must have category.  So in your lingo, there are many more haznots, than there are haz's and it will probably stay that way.
