Network Access Control (NAC)

Summary

Excerpt From Introduction to Wireless Threat Intelligence Webinar

This brief video explains how to combine geofencing with network access control (NAC). A scenario demonstrating network access is displayed in which a person is initially in one region of a facility and is involved in a video conference. Bastille sends a webhook to the NAC system as soon as the device enters a room that has a geofence set around it. This causes the network access to be shut off, as shown by the loss of the video call.

Network access control. It's the right point in the video here. Once you set it up, then we we have the same kind of scenario where this person is in one corner of the building, making his way up towards this room that has a geofence established around it. He's running a video call indicating that he's got network access.

But once that device goes inside of this room, it's gonna send a webhook to the network access control system that will then shut off his network access, which is indicated by his loss of the video call. So again, network access can shut off similar to MDM. Once that device leaves the geofence, another web hook can indicate to the NAC system that network access can be restored.
