Cisco NME-NAC-K9 : Cisco NAC Network Module for 2800, 3800 ISR

The Cisco NAC Network Module for Integrated Services Routers (NME-NAC-K9) extends the Cisco NAC Appliance portfolio of products to smaller locations, helping enable network admission control (NAC) capabilities from the headquarters to the branch office. The integration of NAC Appliance Server capabilities into a network module for Integrated Services Routers allows network administrators to manage a single device in the branch office for data, voice, and security requirements, reducing network complexity, IT staff training needs, equipment sparing requirements, and maintenance costs. The Cisco NAC Network Module for Integrated Services Routers deployed at the branch office remediates potential threats locally before they traverse the WAN and potentially infect the network.

The Cisco NAC Network Module for Integrated Services Routers is an advanced network security product that:

• Recognizes users, their devices, and their roles in the network: This first step occurs at the point of authentication, before malicious code can cause damage.

• Evaluates machines to determine their compliance with security policies: Security policies can vary by user type, device type, or operating system.

• Enforces security policies by blocking, isolating, and repairing noncompliant machines: The machines are redirected into a quarantine area, where remediation occurs at the discretion of the administrator.
