Network Admission Control

NAC Security


NAC has evolved in recent years from Network Access Control to Network Admission Control. Network access control has fallen by the wayside because of its heavy costs in overhead, deployment and support combined with its lack of true security effectiveness. Network Access Control also tends to focus on patch updates versus the what, who and policy control provided by Network Admission Control.

Network Admission Control, true NAC, eliminates those cost burdens while providing real security. In today’s environment, many types of devices connect to the network for Internet access, including user and non-user devices, such as printers, imaging machines and VoIP phones. In order to apply security and enforce acceptable use policies, you must identify all devices that are connected to your network, and determine which of those devices are actually authorized to be on your network. This is especially difficult in education, healthcare, government and enterprise offices, where it is common to have devices brought into the network by guests, contractors, auditors or even uninvited visitors. The last step is to enforce security policies that enable access, quarantine unknown devices, and apply other security decisions like blocking.

  • Protect Against the Unknown. Since wireless networks have become commonplace, often guests and other users are able to connect to your network without your knowledge. DeepNines NAC identifies all users connected to the network, including visitors and guests, and ensures that users do not infect the network with viruses, malware, spyware, etc., or spread infections to other, legitimate users.
  • Control Access. With insight into all network users, content and applications, DeepNines NAC allows you to manage users' access to these network resources. Different policies can be set by user including separate policies for visitors and guests.
