Overview
McAfee Network Access Control (NAC) Appliance manages guest and contractor access and offers inline identity and application-based NAC. The NAC Appliance delivers the same NAC features as the add-on to the McAfee Network Security Platform without the intrusion prevention system. This industry-leading platform provides out-of-band or inline NAC at line speeds ranging from 100 Mbps to 2 Gbps for 5,000 or more concurrent users.
The NAC Appliance easily integrates with the McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator (ePO) platform so you can manage endpoint security, compliance auditing, and access control from a single console.
Features & Benefits
Get flexible deployment
Choose between deploying in Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) mode, inline behind a VPN or LAN, or behind a wireless access point on the network.
Secure access control for unmanaged hosts
Ensure that guest and contractor equipment does not pose a risk to your network. Control unmanaged hosts via a secure guest access portal, a host posture assessment, and a time-based preprovisioning for guest access.
Get out-of-band deployment
Support both IEEE 802.1X as well as older switches via Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) with switch-based deployment.
Protect your network with identity-based access control
Integrate the McAfee Network Access Control (NAC) Appliance with Microsoft Active Directory to provide contractors appropriate access to the network and applications based on their organizational role.
Enable comprehensive post-admission control
Ensure NAC by application protocol, source/destination addresses, and ports.
