Cisco Network Admission Control, Volume I NAC

Secure the network edge with the premier book on NAC The first introduction to the Cisco NAC solution Addresses the security risks of remote and mobile computer users connecting to corporate networks Enables end-point products (i.e. PCs, servers, and PDAs) to communicate security information, allowing networks to restrict access of non-compliant devices to the rest of the network Network Admission Control (NAC), a set of technologies and solutions built on an industry initiative led by Cisco, uses the network infrastructure to enforce security policy compliance on all devices seeking to access network computing resources, thereby limiting damage from emerging security threats. Customers using NAC can allow network access only to compliant and trusted end-point devices (PCs, servers, and PDAs, for example) and can restrict the access of noncompliant devices. The increase in mobile computing and network access options has created a dynamic and porous network perimeter. The result has been an increase in network infections and security breaches. Cisco Network Admission Controldescribes the Cisco NAC solution. It also describes how to plan and design each component as well as an overall NAC-enabled architecture.
