NETWORK ACCESS CONTROL
Delivers a single point of security posture assessment, enforcement and remediation to support third-party network access control (NAC) technologies (Cisco, Infoblox, Microsoft, etc.) or for implementing a BigFix-based access control solution. BigFix extends the NAC concept to include pro-active policy management to prevent otherwise “good” devices from getting quarantined. For endpoints that do not meet current NAC dress codes, BigFix solutions can identify deficiencies and execute remediations to minimize quarantine-related productivity losses.
Highlights
- Single point of security assessment, enforcement and remediation against specific and context-driven access control policies
- Ongoing assessment and “pre-mediation” of BigFix managed computers to avoid unnecessary spells in quarantine
- Fast assessment and, if advisable, remediation of quarantined devices to restore them to compliance with network access requirements
- Continuous and pervasive access control for fixed and mobile computers whether continually or intermittently connected to the enterprise
- Included in the BigFix IT Policy Enforcement Solution Pack
