Symantec Network Access Control Product Family

Features:

• Network access control process - Network access control is a process - one that mandates coverage for all types of endpoints and all types of networks. It begins prior to connection to the network and continues throughout the duration of the connection. As with all corporate processes, policy serves as the basis for evaluations and actions. The network access control process consists of four steps: Discover and evaluate endpoints; Provision network access; Remediate non-compliant endpoints; Proactively monitor compliance.
• Pervasive endpoint coverage - Symantec Network Access Control makes it possible for organisations to apply the network access control process to devices - managed or unmanaged, legacy or new, known or unknown.
• Deployable in any network - Symantec Network Access Control allows network administrators to actively enforce compliance through existing investments in network infrastructure with no required network equipment upgrades. Whether using one of the Symantec Network Access Control Enforcers that integrate directly into the network, the host-only enforcement option requiring no network integration, or a dissolvable agent integrated into your Web application environment, organisations can be assured that end users and endpoints are in compliance at the point of contact to the corporate network.
• Centralised policy management and reporting - Paramount to the efficient operation of any solution is an enterprise-class management console. The Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager provides a Java™ technology–based console to centrally create, deploy, manage and report agent and Enforcer activity. Scalable to fit the most demanding environments in the world, the
  policy manager provides granular control to all administrative tasks in a high-availability architecture.
• Endpoint Evaluation - Network access control protects the network from malicious code and from unknown or unauthorised endpoints, but it also verifies that endpoints connecting to the network are configured properly so they are protected from online attacks. Network Access Control offers three distinct endpoint evaluation technologies when determining endpoint compliance: Persistent Agents; Dissolvable Agents and Remote Vulnerability Scanning.
• Enforcement - Network access control solutions must be flexible enough to easily integrate multiple enforcement methods into the existing environment without increasing management and maintenance overheads. Symantec Network Access Control allows you to select the most appropriate enforcement method for different parts of your network without increasing operational complexity or cost. Each of the network-based enforcement methods is available as software only or as an appliance-delivered component. LAN Enforcer 802.1X, DHCP Enforcer, Gateway Enforcer, Self-enforcement.
• Cisco Network Admission Control and Microsoft - Network Access Protection While Symantec Network Access Control provides end-to- end control functionality without requiring external solutions, it also integrates with and enhances other network access control technologies.
