Safe Connect™ NAC offers an easy to implement and support endpoint policy management solution that allows organizations to control access to their networks based on an end user's compliance with the company's security policies, while seamlessly connecting to their existing multi-vendor infrastructure.

The Safe Connect™ network access control solution provides the following capabilities:
• Prevents unauthorized user access to wired, wireless, and VPN networks.
• Ensures users maintain compliance with anti-virus, anti-spyware, Microsoft security patches, P2P file sharing software, and custom endpoint security policies through real-time continuous security posture validation and enforcement (pre- and post-admission control).
• Automates the isolation of non-compliant devices at Layer2 and provides individualized remediation guidance independent of network switch hardware.
• Allows flexible identity-based policy management for employees, vendors, and guests.
• Allows the institution to send broadcast messages with up-to-the-minute information for emergency or informational communications by network location or policy group.
