Network Access Control (NAC), an essential component for any organization’s overall security posture, mitigates the elevated risks from threats found in today’s information technology environments. Network Access Control needs to be dynamic, persistent, and ongoing. NAC solutions must provide granular security policies which can be enforced at any time, and understand the context of the communications between the endpoint and the IT infrastructure.

IPS has partnered with Enterasys to offer a comprehensive NAC solution. Enterasys NAC can be deployed as a distributed in-line controller appliance for specific network segments, or as a centralized gateway resource for your entire network. The Enterasys Network Access Control solution has been designed to control access for every user, machine or other endpoint, all of the time. Enterasys NAC provisions access to network resources and services based on context, such as authenticated identity of the user or device, location, time, and the current/historical security posture of the device. Access privileges are granted based on these criteria; while non-compliant systems are quarantined for remediation or simply logged for future evaluation. The Enterasys NAC solution then continuously monitors users and endpoints to ensure they are behaving normally, and in compliance with acceptable use policies. Non-compliant systems are forced into a 'quarantine and remediation' state to prevent propagation of threats across the network.
