What is Network access control?
Network access control (NAC) is a security solution that helps organisations control access to their network resources by identifying and authenticating users, devices, and applications. The main goal of NAC is to ensure that only authorised users and devices are granted access to the network and its resources while protecting the network from unauthorised access and potential threats.
