Unify Endpoint and Network Security With McAfee Network Access Control (NAC)

Tags:
network security

Overview Most NAC solutions available to date have been complex, costly, inaccurate, non-scalable, and not secure. McAfee Unified Secure Access is the world's first NAC solution to unify endpoint and network security with access control and compliance. Its adaptive policy technology surpasses current NAC solutions by controlling access and securing networks against threats inside and out. McAfee Unified Secure Access simplifies deployment with ePO, leverages the ToPS-Advanced single agent, and uses McAfee IPS devices for network enforcement. It provides significant advances in security and compliance with zero additional footprints.
