Abstract
A system and method for network access control (NAC) of remotely connected devices is disclosed. In embodiments, agents support role mapping and policy-based scanning. Embodiments automatically perform authentication, assessment, authorization, provisioning, and remediation. Capabilities include user authentication, role-based authorization, endpoint compliance, alarms and alerts, audit logs, location-based rules, and policy enforcement. Processes collect information about the user as well as the host being used from sources including, but not limited to, LDAP, the remote access device, and the agent. Once this data has been obtained, embodiments construct a comprehensive model of the host. This model is subsequently used to govern the actual host's network access when it connects to the network. Passive monitoring includes vulnerability scanning to control access rights throughout the duration of the connection.
