McAfee Policy Enforcer network access control
McAfee System Protection
Box Policy EnforcerProtect your network and your business from noncompliant systems
One infected or noncompliant system on your network can disable your
business, damage your reputation, or subject you to regulatory fines.
McAfee® Policy Enforcer network access control (NAC) reduces this risk
by limiting network access only to systems that comply with your
security policies.
Description
Noncompliant
systems that may be infected or misconfigured pose a huge risk because
they can compromise systems and bring down networks. With the increase
in mobile workers, partnerships, and offshore outsourcing, risk has
increased. This can cost you significant time and money, system
downtime, loss of reputation, regulatory fines, frustrated customers,
and IT support for restoring systems.
McAfee® Policy
Enforcer network access control mitigates the risk to corporate assets
posed by systems that do not comply with your security policies. McAfee
NAC combines powerful yet flexible policy control with a wide range of
enforcement methods to protect your network. Its agent-on-demand
quickly scans managed and guest systems to see if they comply with
security policies and automatically blocks or quarantines noncompliant
systems.
Simplify policy definition, system discovery,
security and compliance assessment, enforcement, and remediation
through McAfee® ePolicy Orchestrator®, its single-agent management
console. From ePO™, define policies and get centralized reporting of
failed compliance checks and remediation action. Automate patching of
systems as they enter your network and makes remediation easier. McAfee
NAC works with McAfee® Total Protection— Advanced and other third-party
solutions for automated self-remediation to reduce helpdesk calls.
McAfee NAC offers broad enforcement capabilities for VPNs/LAN
switches/wireless switches from a variety of vendors. It also supports
devices that use Cisco® Network Admission Control. Through ePO™, Policy
Enforcer provides centralized policy definition, system assessment, and
remediation while Cisco NAC detects noncompliant system and enforces
policy.
With McAfee NAC, you can safely extend your network
to remote workers and partners without expensive large-scale hardware
replacements or upgrades.
