Excerpt: Large organizations need to provide an increasingly mobile and diverse workforce with easy access to the corporate network without compromising security. Sophos NAC provides comprehensive network access control that integrates with existing security and network infrastructure, enabling major firms- including Fortune 500 companies- to enforce security policies, maximize their return on investment (ROI), and demonstrate that they can meet regulatory compliance. IT and security managers in large companies face the problem of providing an increasingly dynamic workforce with easy access to critical applications, while limiting their network's exposure to spyware, viruses, Trojans, worms and other forms of malware. To prevent the introduction of potential security threats to the network, IT administrators must be able to assess, achieve, and report on the security compliance of all computers on the network, without reducing user productivity or increasing support costs. Companies with mobile, diverse workforces can enforce their security status of the user's computer, and known responses to vulnerabilities and threats. To minimize disruption and maximize ROI, this must be accomplished with the existing infrastructure, organization, applications, and operational procedures. |
