antivirus client, it can check antivirus software version, virus database version,
and virus scan/kill history.
Implement security policies. It can receive the security policy issued by the
security policy server and force it upon endpoints.
Monitor system security status in real time and regularly report security events to
the security policy server.
III. Security cooperation device
In this manual, security cooperation devices are routers that can do the following:
Force the endpoint users attempting to access the network to accept identity
authentication and security evaluation.
Isolate non-compliant endpoints. A security cooperation device can isolate
endpoints or remove isolation online when receiving the isolation or isolation
removal command issued by the security policy server.
IV. Security policy server
In an EAD solution, the security policy server is the management and control center. It
functions to:
Manage security policies. The security policy server defines a set of policies used
for endpoint admission control, covering aspects such as endpoint security
evaluation criteria, endpoint recovery method, and isolation criteria.
Manage users. The security policy server can provide identity-specific
differentiated security configuration and network service class.
Control security cooperation. The security policy server can evaluate the security
reports of endpoints, command the security cooperation device to isolate
endpoints or to remove isolation, and issue security policies to endpoints.
Audit log. The security policy server can collect and log the security events
reported by security clients for the administrator to trace and monitor network
security.
V. Security client manager proxy
The security client and the security policy server communicate through the security
client manager proxy.
VI. RADIUS server
RADIUS server authenticates identities of endpoint users.
