Until now authenticating the security profile of a user's endpoint device on a network has been virtually impossible. This security weak point has meant that even the most trustworthy user could inadvertently expose everyone else on the network to damaging and costly risks with a single noncompliant device. Network Admission Control (NAC) technology from Cisco Systems offers an effective security solution that boosts network resilience while maintaining productivity. This webcast discusses how NAC uses the network infrastructure to help secure a network and limit damage from security threats, including viruses, worms, malware, and spyware.
