9.5. Summary
The following are key points from this chapter:
Microsoft NAP requires the use of Microsoft Server 2008.
Microsoft Server 2008 is due to be generally available in February of 2008.
Microsoft NAP requires the use of Windows Vista or Windows XP Service Pack 3.
Service Pack 3 is due to be generally available in the first half of 2008.
This solution can consist of a mix of components from Microsoft and other vendors.
SHAs and SHVs work together to determine the overall security posture of devices.
Microsoft will include APIs for SHAs and SHVs to enable third-party vendors to integrate with the solution.
This solution is only available in client mode.
This solution can require that authentication take place to provide access to the network.
Microsoft NAP is designed to protect the corporate LAN from unauthorized and security-deficient devices and users.
This solution does not address mobile devices as they are mobile and not connected to the corporate network.
NAQC can provide assessment of devices as they attempt to gain remote access to the corporate network.
NAQC works by running scripts on devices to determine if they are compliant.
Microsoft 802.1x can be used by itself to control access from unauthorized users.
Thus far, we have covered the most well-known LAN-based and Mobile NAC solutions. Chapter 10 discusses how NAC-like functionality can exist in products that are not necessarily marketed as being NAC/NAP.
