NAC, which stands for Network Access Control, is an emerging security control we employ to protect internal network infrastructures and services. Moreover, organizations implement NAC to enforce strict security policies throughout all devices and users that attempt to connect to network services. Besides, endpoint devices with outdated patches, security configurations and updates will be unable to connect and access network resources.
NAC integrates endpoint security controls such as antivirus, host-based IDS/IPSs, vulnerability scanning tools, etc. and provides unified security solution to endpoint threats. Furthermore, it is security solution that automates detection and response measures in real-time and proactively.
