What Is Network Access Control (NAC)? – Check Point Software

Why is Network Access Control Important (NAC)?

All devices connected to a corporate or private network are a potential security risk to an organization. If a device is lacking important patches, has not installed the latest security updates, or is potentially infected with malware, then allowing it to connect to the corporate network could provide an attacker with a means of accessing the corporate network.

Network Access Control solutions provide organizations with the ability to enforce their security policies by blocking non-compliant devices from connecting to the network. This enables the company to manage its digital attack surface and reduce its risk of cyber threats.
