Criticality Failure implications
High If this process is down, the
system cannot test endpoints
to determine their compliance
status:
• Endpoints in quarantine
will not be able to gain
network access.
• Endpoints assigned to a
NAC policy with a Trust
level of guilty until proven
innocent will be
quarantined once the retest
interval (defined by the
NAC policy's Retest
frequency) has expired.

proxy requests are blocked at
the ES, and endpoints will be
unable to authenticate to the
network.
