Network Admission Control Design

Tags:
network design

Overview As the number of unmanaged devices used by employees, contractors, and guests who need access to the network expands, the likelihood of noncompliance with the security policies also increases. To solve this dilemma, many IT professionals are either implementing or considering Network Admission Control (NAC). Is NAC right for the network? What are the issues in successfully deploying NAC? This webcast answers these questions and shows the principal technical considerations and options available to one in a mature, goal-oriented NAC implementation.
