Overview

Mapping Next-Generation NAC to the Critical Security Controls

NAC has evolved from a straightforward admission control tool to a robust set of security capabilities that map to a number of the Critical Security Controls. It provides a range of endpoint discovery, assessment, enforcement and remediation capabilities and other ways to control network access from new and unknown devices while achieving the goal of automation that is the philosophy behind the CSCs.
