About SNAC: Symantec Network Access Control ensures that a company's client computers are
compliant with the company's security policies before the computers are allowed
to access the network. Symantec Network Access Control uses a Host Integrity
Policy and an optional Symantec Enforcer to discover and evaluate which
computers are compliant.

Availability: Symantec Network Access Control can be downloaded from https://fileconnect.symantec.com.
