An important concept that should be realized by this point in the book is that LAN-based NAC is designed to protect the corporate network. LAN-based NAC does this by assessing, quarantining, and restricting devices as they attempt to gain access to the corporate network. As defined in Chapter 5, NAC solutions must be extended beyond the confines of the corporate network.
Fiberlink Mobile NAC is different from traditional LAN-based NAC in a number of different ways, including the following:
Fiberlink Mobile NAC enforces NAC policies and performs NAC functions any time a device is turned on, and regardless of where the device is located.
The NAC servers and components are logically connected directly to the Internet.
The solution is offered as a Software as a Service (SaaS) model.
The solution includes a remediation component to automatically remediate noncompliant systems without end-user action.
