Does your business network run the risk of rogue, guest,
non-compliant, or infected PCs compromising your network?
Can you be sure that when a traveling salesman visits your
office that the laptop he is plugging into your network is patched
against the latest vulnerabilities, and running an up-to-date
anti-virus?
Do visitors and contractors ask for internet access so they can
download files they wish to share with you, and do they have access
to other parts of your network at the same time?
By implementing Network
Access Control (NAC) you reduce the risk of rogue, guest,
non-compliant, or infected systems compromising your network. A NAC
solution gives you a framework to ensure that only correctly
secured computers gain network access.
Fixed, mobile, wired or wireless computers connecting to the
network can be detected and managed suitably with NAC in place. If
operating systems are unpatched, personal firewalls are turned off,
or unauthorized applications are being used, access to your network
can be denied.
