1.4 Overview
Novell ZENworks Network Access Control protects the network by ensuring that endpoints are free
from threats and in compliance with the organization's IT security standards. Novell ZENworks
Network Access Control systematically tests endpoints—with or without the use of a client or
agent—for compliance with organizational security policies, quarantining non-compliant machines
before they damage the network.
Novell ZENworks Network Access Control ensures that the applications and services running on
endpoints (such as LAN, RAS, VPN, and WiFi endpoints) are up-to-date and free of worms, viruses,
trojans, P2P and other potentially damaging software. It dramatically reduces the cost and effort of
securing your network's weakest links—the endpoints your IT group might not adequately control.
There are advantages and disadvantages inherent with each of the test method technologies. Having
a choice of testing solutions enables you to maximize the advantages and minimize the
disadvantages.
TIP: Agentless testing uses an existing Windows service (RPC). ActiveX testing uses an ActiveX
control. Novell agent testing installs an agent (NAC Agent) and runs as a new Windows service.
