Network Admission Control

NAC minimizes the risks associated with noncompliant devices, resulting in more resilient and secure networks.
In addition, NAC has the ability to perform user authentication at the network level, so that only those with proper user credentials are permitted access to the network.

Key advantages

Cisco NAC Appliance is the most deployed solution on the market today, with more than 600 customers spanning large and small organisations. Unlike many other solutions, which require different products for different scenarios, a single NAC Appliance deployment applies to every type of case—whenever policy compliance is needed for LAN, remote access/VPN, wireless, branch office, or extranet users.

Cisco NAC Appliance is more than a proactive tool for increasing network security:

• Protects business interests by securing infrastructure, sensitive corporate information and intellectual property within the company. IT departments will be able to mitigate confidentiality-related threats caused by disappearing security boundaries, unauthorised access and internal attacks.
• Safeguards the organisation’s credibility, brand name and public image by preventing malicious activities and attacks from crippling the network.
• Improves employee productivity by reducing and eliminating vulnerability-based exploits and attacks. With this control, customers can prevent large-scale infrastructure disruptions, productivity losses and direct financial losses.
• Helps organisations adhere to privacy protection and regulatory compliance requirements, such as Sarbanes-Oxley and HIPAA. Organisations that cannot meet the legal requirements of compliance legislation risk their relationships with end customers and regulatory authorities.
