Home / Terms / Network Access Control

Network Access Control (NAC) is a comprehensive security approach that enforces policy-based restrictions on endpoint devices attempting to access a computer network. This cybersecurity solution ensures that only authenticated and compliant devices can connect to an organization’s network infrastructure.
