(Network Access Control and Gateway Protection) In previous blogs we talked about the need to educate end users, knowing the details of what activity is occurring on your network, and managing the threat through compliance. In part 4, we’re going to talk about protecting your network and web/email traffic. First let’s talk about Network Access Control.

Another way to think of this is network endpoint compliance. Compliant machines get access to the network.
