Overview
Endpoint security is one of today’s most important subjects in the area of IT Security. Several architectures focus on this subject, e.g. Cisco NAC, Microsoft’s Network Access Protection (NAP) and Trusted Computing Group’s Trusted Network Connect (TNC). The Trusted Network Connect Sub Group (TNC-SG) has defined and released an open architecture and a set of standards for interoperable network access control (NAC) solutions. The TNC architecture enables network operators to enforce policies regarding endpoint integrity at or after network connection.
