8.4. Summary
Following are key points from this chapter:
Fiberlink Mobile NAC is designed to provide all NAC functionality to mobile devices as they are mobile.
Mobile NAC is offered as SaaS and does not require any customer premise equipment.
The solution is a complement to existing patching, LAN-based NAC, and security solutions.
Key components of Fiberlink Mobile NAC are the Extend360 Agent (e360), the Enterprise Management Center (EMC), and the Fiberlink remediation servers.
Fiberlink Mobile NAC requires the installation of the e360 client.
Fiberlink Mobile NAC integrates with all leading antivirus, personal firewall, and antispyware security solutions.
Posture Plugins (PPs) are not necessary with Fiberlink Mobile NAC.
Fiberlink's reporting provides enterprise summary managerial-level reporting, as well as detailed information on each device.
Fiberlink's reporting shows what is on a machine (all software installed, operating system, service packs, and so on) and what is not on a machine (missing patches, outdated antivirus, and so on).
Clearly, there are key differences between Mobile NAC and LAN-based solutions. Chapter 9 discusses another well-known LAN-based NAC/NAP solution — Microsoft NAP.
