Chapter 5. Understanding the Need for Mobile NAC

Going into this chapter, ask yourself these two questions:

  • Is data only accessed when it is on the LAN?

  • Do machines only need to be assessed, restricted, and remediated when they are attempting to gain access to the LAN?

Unless your company is different than most companies, the answer to these questions is "No!" These are key points to realize when assessing the need for a Mobile NAC solution.

The main differences between Mobile NAC and LAN-based NAC are critical to understand. These differences include:

  • Where the various NAC functionalities take place

  • What threats are being protected against

Chapter 4 discussed the need for LAN-based NAC, and this chapter will do the same for Mobile NAC.
