3.3 NAC Flashcards
Network Access Control (Slide 1)
A desktop or laptop off the network for an extended period may need multiple updates upon return.
After a remote client has authenticated, Network Access control (NAC) checks that the device being used is patched and compliant with corporate security policies.
A compliant device is allowed access to the LAN
A non-Compliant device may be redirected to a boundary network where a remediation service address issues
Boundary network is sometimes called a “quarantine network”
Explain Agent-Based or agentless
Some operating systems include network access control as part of the operating system itself. and no additional agent is required.
These generally perform checks when the system logs into the network and logs out of the network, making them less configurable.
If you need additional functionally, you may require a persistent or dissolvable agent.
Persistent: A permanent agent is installed on the host.
Dissolvable: A dissolvable agen is known as a temporary and is installed for a single use.
