Network Access Control (NAC) is not an off-the-shelf product, but rather a framework. NAC will help you to authenticate subscribers and enable you to verify in advance the permission for any system which is trying to access your network or your central servers. As such, NAC is primarily aimed at companies with a large number of mobile workplaces, a high protection requirement or strict compliance rules. The optimal design depends entirely on your in-house specifications and your network environment’s requirements.

Typical issues associated with NAC include:

• User authentication
• Terminal checks
• Guest access
• Captive portal
• IEEE 802.1x
• Quarantine
• Endpoint remediation
• Compliance
• Integration in WLAN environments
