Symantec Network Access Control is a comprehensive network access control solution that ensures users, devices, and applications remain secure and under control when connecting to the network. The solution uses Symantec Endpoint Assessment Technology (EPT) to deeply assess endpoints and provides flexible deployment options that eliminate IT and business disruptions.
The document provides an overview of Symantec Network Access Control (NAC), explaining its comprehensive approach to endpoint security, policy management, and integration with existing IT infrastructures. It outlines the challenges of unmanaged endpoints and how NAC mitigates risks such as malware, data loss, and compliance violations.
Key components described include various Enforcers (Gateway, DHCP, LAN 802.1X), endpoint agents, and policy management mechanisms. The whitepaper also details deployment flow, remediation actions for non‑compliant devices, and the three types of endpoint agents (permanent, removable, and near‑term vulnerability scanning). This manual is written in Chinese.
