In this episode of "The Connected Frontier," we explain why Network Access Control (NAC) is a critical cybersecurity tool in today's digital landscape. NAC acts as a digital security team at every door, asking three vital questions of every user and device: "Who are you?", "Are you supposed to be here?", and "Are you a security risk?". The episode provides a story of a major retail data breach to illustrate how NAC's "least privilege" principle could have prevented the lateral movement of a threat. Furthermore, it highlights NAC's role in managing BYOD devices by performing automatic health checks and isolating non-compliant devices. Finally, the episode summarizes key features businesses should look for in a NAC solution, including integration with other security tools, both agent-based and agentless deployment, granular policy enforcement, and scalability. Support the show
