Network Access Control (NAC) is a process designed to reduce security incidents and increase compliance by enforcing IT security policies as a prerequisite for network access. Although ?Network Access Control? is a newly defined category, Symantec has blazed the trail in network access control technologies through the introduction of IPSec VPN and Gateway Enforcement solutions in 2001 and subsequently adding Self-Enforcement, On-Demand agents, and 802.1x LAN Enforcement in 2003.
