This white paper details Foundry Network´s approach to network admission control. End points are proactively checked for compliance with IT security policy and either denied network access, or quarantined where tools are offered to help them come into compliance. The paper provides guidelines establishing guest access to restricted network zones, including internet access. Best practices are provided, as well as a look at the future of endpoint admission control by reviewing short and long term trends and prospects for these technologies. This includes a look at Foundry´s web authentication capabilities, and how clientless admission control might be added to admission control.
