Network access control is a system to strengthen the security of registered network’s security by limiting access to devices with the help of a defined security policy. It provides a solution to security issues such as malicious software and secures network vulnerabilities. Network access control identifies the users with their devices and their role in the network. Moreover, it provides endpoint visibility and is works in synchronization with other security platforms to optimize network efficiency. Network access control is also integrated with security infrastructures such as next-generation firewall (NGFW) and security information and event management (SIEM), providing alerts to intrusion attempts and blocking devices providing security. The global network access control market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 30.3% during the forecast period.
