About This Project
NAC, also known as Network Access Control, is a cybersecurity solution that controls who and what can access the internal network, ensuring only authenticated users and compliant devices connect, preventing unauthorized access and enforcing security policies for better security. NAC verifies identities and device health before granting them access to the network.
Zero Trust Network Access, also known as ZTNA, is architecture and sets of technology that enable secure access to internal applications, data, and services for remote and on-premises college assets. Organizational accounts are identified and authorized to access only applications, data and services allowed for their role and function. While off-premises, ZTNA secures college assets by enforcing the same security measures that would be applied while connected to on-premises networks.
