NAC Support for MBSSID

Networks must be protected from security threats, such as viruses, worms, and
spyware. These security threats disrupt business, causing downtime and continual
patching. Endpoint visibility and control is needed to help verify that all wired
and wireless devices attempting to access a network meet corporate security
policies. Infected or vulnerable endpoints need to be automatically detected,
isolated, and cleaned.

NAC is designed specifically to help to make sure that all wired and wireless
endpoint devices (such as personal computers, laptops, servers, and PDAs)
accessing network resources are adequately protected from security threats. NAC
lets organizations analyze and control all devices coming into the network. By
ensuring that every endpoint device complies with corporate security policy and
is running the latest and most relevant security protections, organizations can
significantly reduce or eliminate endpoint devices as a common source of
infection or network compromise.
