Mobile NAC: Protecting Network Security by Protecting Mobile Endpoints

Learn about Fiberlink’s Network Access Control (NAC) solution for mobile workforces and how it protects both networks and confidential data on mobile computers.

Network Access Control, or NAC, is a powerful idea that promises to mitigate the damage done by viruses, hackers and other threats to corporate information. But many NAC products are difficult and expensive to implement, and few of them address “the mobile blind spot”: mobile computers and the confidential data on them that are carried beyond the protection of corporate firewalls and exposed to viruses, malware and hackers.

Fiberlink’s Mobile NAC is the first Network Access Control technology designed specifically for mobile and remote workforces.

Mobile NAC uses the Extend360 Mobility Platform to provide the four basic functions of Network Access Control: policy management, endpoint assessment, quarantine and remediation.

Fiberlink’s Mobile NAC not only protects corporate networks from non-compliant endpoints, like all NAC solutions. But it also addresses “the mobile blind spot” by protecting the endpoints themselves and the confidential data on them with “always on” monitoring and remediation.

Mobile NAC can be implemented quickly and at low cost, gives enterprises essentially real-time reporting on the current compliance state of their mobile and remote computers, and reduces support costs by performing assessment and remediation automatically and transparently to end users.
