The modern business environment requires network resources to be available to many different users, but allowing this access comes with an increased security risk.

You need network access control (NAC) not just to ensure compliance of known computers (whether managed or unmanaged) but also to exclude unauthorized computers. Having an enterprise-level strategy for security compliance and access control is essential in protecting your organization from a broad spectrum of potential threats. The key to successful NAC deployment is in assessment and subsequent remediation processes for non-compliant computers. Quarantining and blocking access are tools of last resort, and different scenarios will require different approaches.
