Network Access Control (NAC)

How does Sangfor's Network Access Control (NAC) solution help organizations enforce network security policies and ensure compliance?

Sangfor's Network Access Control (NAC) solution is designed to help organizations enforce network security policies and ensure compliance by providing granular control over network access and visibility into network activities. Here are some ways in which Sangfor NAC achieves these goals:

• Authentication and Authorization: Sangfor NAC enables organizations to authenticate and authorize users and devices before granting them access to the network. It supports various authentication methods such as username/password, digital certificates, two-factor authentication, and integration with existing identity management systems. By verifying the identity of users and devices, organizations can ensure that only authorized entities are allowed to access the network.
  
  
  
• Endpoint Compliance: Sangfor NAC helps enforce security policies by ensuring that devices connecting to the network comply with predefined security requirements. It performs endpoint assessments to check for the presence of antivirus software, patches, and other security measures. Devices that do not meet the compliance criteria can be redirected to a quarantine network or given restricted access until they meet the requirements. This helps prevent the spread of malware and other security threats within the network.
  
  
  
• Network Visibility and Control: Sangfor NAC provides real-time visibility into network activities, allowing organizations to monitor and control network traffic. It captures and analyzes network data to identify unauthorized devices, suspicious behavior, and potential security incidents. Administrators can define access policies based on user roles, device types, time of day, and other parameters to control network access. They can also set up alerts and notifications for policy violations or security breaches.
  
  
  
• Guest Access Management: Organizations often need to provide temporary network access to guests, contractors, or partners. Sangfor NAC offers guest access management features that allow organizations to create guest accounts, set access privileges, and control the duration of access. This helps prevent unauthorized access and ensures that guest users adhere to the organization's security policies while using the network.
  
  
  
• Integration and Automation: Sangfor NAC integrates with other security solutions and network infrastructure components to provide comprehensive protection. It can integrate with firewalls, intrusion prevention systems (IPS), security information and event management (SIEM) systems, and other security tools to enhance network security capabilities. It also supports automation and policy enforcement based on predefined rules, reducing manual intervention and improving operational efficiency.
  
  
  
  
  

By implementing Sangfor NAC, organizations can enforce network security policies, ensure compliance with regulatory requirements, mitigate security risks, and protect sensitive data from unauthorized access or threats within the network.

Sangfor's NAC solution helps organizations enforce network security policies related to device access, compliance, segmentation, and monitoring.
This improves the overall security posture and helps meet compliance requirements.
