What is NAC - Network Access Control?

Network access control (NAC) is a security technology that provides visibility and control of devices accessing a corporate network. 

 

It's typically a solution stack that's used to:

  1. Gain visibility to IT resources that are accessing corporate networks
  2. Enforce granular role-based or policy-based access to those networks.

 

Demand for NAC has grown in recent years, partially in response to the proliferation of bring-your-own-device policies and IoT devices that interact with corporate networks.
