Network access control (NAC) is no longer just about role-based user access control, device authentication, and guest management. The Pulse Policy Secure (PPS) solution offers pre and post connect features to assess, characterise and correct operating system and software configurations in real time.
Organisations can identify unhealthy endpoints, such as systems missing important security updates, running unauthorised software, or having other high-risk elements, and segment them away from the rest of the network.
As more organisations adopt bring your own device (BYOD) policies and wireless initiatives, there is greater demand for continuous endpoint compliance, or knowing what is running on the endpoint at all times. With PPS in your network, you have real-time visibility into all the devices connecting to the network and to be able to enforce
security policies on the devices.
Benefits of Pulse Policy Secure
