Endpoint network access control white paper available

Sophos has made its endpoint network access control (NAC) white paper available as a free download from its website


With many different devices and people wanting access to your network, it’s important to ensure your network remains protected at all times.

The new Sophos white paper NAC at the endpoint: control your network through device compliance, shows how a NAC software solution running on each endpoint computer can help you:

* Assess devices before and during connection
* Ensure compliance with your security policy
* Update security patches automatically.

It also explains why software-based NAC provides a more effective solution at the endpoint level and how a phased roll out will help you define, assess, remediate and enforce all access requests without impacting on your IT infrastructure.
