Network Access Control Technologies and Symantec Compliance on Contact

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. The expansion of enforcement methods continued through 2005 with the introduction of DHCP Enforcement and integration with Cisco?s Network Admission Control solution. In 2006 Symantec maintained our growth pattern by offering Enforcer appliances and a Microsoft® DHCP plug-in solution to further enable enterprise deployments.
