What is NAC?

Network Access Control (NAC) is a security approach that controls access to a network based on predefined policies. It inspects devices attempting to access the network to ensure they comply with the security posture, such as having up-to-date antivirus software and operating system patches, before granting access. NAC is commonly used to enhance network security, enforce endpoint compliance, and provide guest access control.
