Access Control and User Monitoring

Guest access controls, real-time visibility, and automated compliance enforcement

Who's on your network? Is the system healthy and compliant? Until now, answering these questions with network access control (NAC) solutions required you to change networks, policies, or even the way you do business while increasing cost, complexity, and errors. Today McAfee access control and user monitoring solutions provide the benefits of NAC while adapting to your business and infrastructure. We unify endpoint and network security with access control and automated compliance enforcement to secure against threats. Through user behavior analysis, we help you watch insiders in real time to verify appropriate use and compliance. Our integrated approach delivers new operational efficiency, higher accuracy, and more value from existing security tools. Instead of limiting network access for risky systems, like visitor and contractor laptops, you can enforce compliance to ensure users do not disable security tools, install malicious applications, or use outdated security configurations.
