To protect data and resources, enterprise security personnel use solutions such as Next-Generation Firewalls (NGFWs) to control access and monitor traffic flows, and Security Information and Event Managers (SIEMs) to analyze and cross-correlate events. The problem: these solutions are limited to sending alerts, or enforcing policies on the traffic that passes through them. Network Access Control (NAC) solutions have traditionally enforced an endpoint’s security posture before connecting to the network. Read here to learn how a bidirectional integration with the security ecosystem enables a NAC to increase overall security efficacy by taking remedial action on an endpoint’s connectivity after receiving alerts from other security solutions.
