Sophos Network Access Control (NAC)
is a software-based network access control solution. It is straightforward to
install and allows you to enforce your company policy for workstations
connecting to your network. Sophos NAC scans workstations for compliance with your policy both before they connect so that you can decide what level of access they are to be granted, as well as while they are connected to your network to ensure that they remain compliant. Policy is defined by the network administrator via a web based management console, and remediation can take place "on the fly" to ensure that the workstation is either brought into compliance, provided with restricted network access, or blocked.
Simplified and automated policy management
The organisational benefit of implementing network access
control is in automating the process of assessment and remediation
for non-compliant computers. The Sophos management console
provides over 1000 pre-defined security application and
operating system patch assessment definitions which are
automatically updated to reflect security application updates
and new security patch availability. The NAC agents can fix
out-of-compliance endpoints automatically or with the assistance
of the user. Once the Network Access Control policies are
defined and implemented, the process of ensuring that the
configuration of workstations meets with Best Practice can be
automated, reducing both the risk of malware infection and the
cost of ensuring compliance.
