Implementing Cisco NAC Appliance (CANAC)

The NAC Appliance (Cisco Clean Access) is a "shrink-wrapped" network admission control solution that recognises users, their devices and roles; evaluates the security posture of the endpoint and scans for vulnerabilities; and enforces policy in the network. In particular, prior to allowing users onto the network, the NAC Appliance (Cisco Clean Access) solution allows administrators to authenticate, authorise, interrogate and remediate users and their machines enforcing policy based access control on the network.
