Description:

McAfee Network Access Control (NAC) Appliance manages guest and contractor access and offers inline identity and application-based NAC. The NAC Appliance delivers the same NAC features as the add-on to the McAfee Network Security Platform without the intrusion prevention system. This industry-leading platform provides out-of-band or inline NAC at line speeds ranging from 100 Mbps to 2 Gbps for 5,000 or more concurrent users.

The NAC Appliance easily integrates with the McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator (ePO) platform so you can manage endpoint security, compliance auditing, and access control from a single console.
