Overview
Symantec™ Network Access Control Starter Edition
makes it easy to begin implementing a network access
control solution. It offers a subset of Symantec Network
Access Control functionality that can be completely
leveraged toward a full Symantec Network Access
Control deployment. Like Symantec Network Access
Control, it grants access only to endpoints that comply
with your defined security policies by evaluating
compliance status, providing automatic remediation,
and ensuring access is properly provisioned and
secured. The result is a network environment in which
businesses can realize significant reductions in security
incidents, increased levels of compliance with
configuration policies, and confidence that endpoint
security mechanisms are properly enabled.
Key benefits
• Reduced propagation of malicious code such as
viruses, worms, spyware, and other forms of
crimeware
• Lowered risk profile through increased control of
unmanaged and managed endpoints accessing the
corporate network
• Greater network availability and reduced disruption of
services for end users
• Verifiable organizational compliance information
through near real-time endpoint compliance data
• Minimized total cost of ownership based on an
enterprise-class centralized management architecture
• Verification that endpoint security investments such
as Symantec AntiVirus™ and the client firewall are
properly enabled
• Seamless integration with Symantec™ Endpoint
Protection

Symantec Network Access Control Starter Edition Process
Network access control process
Network access control is a process—one that mandates
coverage for all types of endpoints and all types of
networks. It begins prior to connection to the network
and continues throughout the duration of the
connection. As with all corporate processes, policy
serves as the basis for evaluations and actions.
