NAC
Network Access Control
Definition
NAC enforces security policy on devices before allowing them to connect to the network, checking for patch compliance, antivirus status, and certificate validity. It can quarantine non-compliant devices to a remediation VLAN and uses 802.1X authentication with a RADIUS server.
NAC is a key control for preventing compromised or unmanaged devices from accessing internal resources.
