F-Secure participates in the Network Admission Control (NAC)
collaboration led by Cisco Systems
network access of hosts that have too old virus definition databases, or
anti-virus or firewall modules disabled.
The F-Secure NAC plug-in communicates with Cisco
a client software on the hosts that collects the security-related information
from the host and communicates the data to Cisco Secure Access Control
Server (ACS). Based on this data, an appropriate access policy is applied
to the host.
For more information about NAC, see http://www.cisco.com/go/nac/.
The installation package for Client Security contains an option to install
the Cisco NAC Plugin. When you select this option, the CTA must already
be installed on the host. In addition to this, the ACS server must be
configured to monitor F-Secure product-related security attributes.
