Having a Google news alert on “802.1X” sometimes gives you some amusing stories. It seems the Turkish Ministry of Education is rolling out a new secure LAN using 802.1X and VLANs. The article goes on to say, “This deployment is considered to be one of the largest 802.1x application deployments in the Turkish market.” I found this interesting because 802.1X was such a focus of what they discussed. Like I’m seeing in North America, the government demands for secure audit and segmentation appear to be consistent in at least this portion of Southeastern Europe. Based on the discussions I’ve already had in Asia and the UK, 802.1X may be serving a global need.
