NAC

E' una cosetta interessante....
che ne dite?

Q. What is NAC?

A. Cisco Network Admission Control (NAC) is an industry-wide collaboration
led by Cisco, to focus on limiting damage from emerging security threats
such as viruses and worms. Customers using NAC can allow network access only
to compliant and trusted endpoint devices (e.g. PCs, servers, PDAs) and can
restrict the access of non-compliant devices. In its initial phase, NAC
enables Cisco routers to enforce access privileges when an endpoint device
attempts to connect to a network. This decision can be based on information
about the endpoint device such as its current anti-virus state and operating
system patch level. NAC allows non-compliant devices to be denied access,
placed in a quarantined area, or given restricted access to computing
resources. NAC will initially support endpoints running Microsoft® Windows
NT, XP and 2000 operating systems.
