Symantec Network Access Control allows you to select the most appropriate enforcement method for different parts of your network without increasing operational complexity or cost. The Symantec Enforcers verify that a host is compliant with minimum security policies before allowing normal network access. The primary types of enforcement are:
- Gateway
- LAN
- DHCP
- Self-Enforcement
- Peer-to-Peer Enforcement
- Microsoft Network Access Protection (NAP)
- Set policies
- Control Symantec Network Access Control client
- View logs
- Run reports
Symantec Network Access Control offers three distinct endpoint evaluation technologies when determining endpoint compliance.
- Persistent Agents are installed by administrators on Corporate-owned and other managed systems to determine compliance status.
- Dissolvable Agents are placed on non-corporate devices or systems that are not currently managed by administrators. They are java-based agents are delivered on-demand and without administrative privileges to evaluate endpoint compliance posture.
- As an alternative, remote vulnerability scanning can be used to extend the information gathering functionality to systems for systems such and Linux and Unix.
