Overview
Using Mobility XE’s Mobile NAC module, network administrators have complete control over how and when devices can connect to their enterprise network. Devices must comply with specified security policies or face remediation. Key features of the NAC module include:

• Simple deployment. The NAC module does not require network infrastructure reconfiguration in order to deploy. Using a menu-driven wizard, administrators can configure and deploy security policies in minutes.
• Ensures security compliancy. Prior to connecting to the corporate network, mobile workers’ devices are scanned for compliance to NAC rules established by the system administrator. If devices fail any of the checks, the administrator has full power to enforce any number of remediation options to bring the device into compliance. Flexibility and control over non-compliant devices. Based on severity, administrators may choose from simple warnings, to triggering customizable remediation policies that can limit application access, launch websites, initiate software downloads, or even disconnect or quarantine the device.
• Automatic updates and compliance. Updated rules are automatically pushed down to client devices. Devices are also automatically rescanned at regular intervals to ensure ongoing compliance.
• Multiple platform support. NAC is supported across all Windows-based client devices: laptops, handhelds, and smart phones.
