Network Admission Control

A significant component of a LAN security policy is controlling who can access the network and what they are allowed to do. Network Admission Control (NAC) provides a strong baseline when determining who the user is and the status of their machine.

Universal understands these challenges and builds strong and dynamic NAC solutions. Through our Professional Services offering, Universal can provide a complete overview of how a NAC solution fits and what the requirements are to make it work.

As in all projects, it’s important to understand how and why a solution might fit. Because NAC can be a large and complex undertaking, Universal works with your IT staff to determine the following:

• Where is security lacking and can NAC really help resolve the issue?
  
  
• What needs to be secured?
  
  
• How would NAC impact our overall security posture in achieving better policy compliance
  
  
• What is the scope of the project and how will NAC be designed?

Understanding your options

As NAC can be deployed across different points in the network (inline, out-of-band and as a software agent) it is important to understand in advance where to situate the enforcement points. Documenting and discussing the various methods is a great first step towards a solid design.
