Abstract
Systems and methods are described for synergistically combining network security technologies to improve automated response to security incidents. An endpoint security agent running on the endpoint device detects an incident, generates a security incident alert by proactively collecting data regarding the incident, and causes a network access control (NAC) agent to execute an automated network operation based on the security incident alert. In an embodiment, a security device is operable to use EDR data and NAC data in combination to improve asset discovery. The security device may use the EDR data and the NAC data in combination for performing deep vulnerability assessment and taking remedial actions.
