As part of a shift to a Zero Trust security model, a network administrator must configure the system to ascertain full adherence to corporate security policies prior to granting network access. The policies specifically require verification that all devices meet security compliance standards. Which system would be most suited to enforce these stringent access conditions?
Enhance endpoint security with Advanced Threat Protection (ATP) software on all devices.
Utilize a stateful firewall to monitor and restrict traffic from non-compliant devices.
Integrate an Intrusion Detection System (IDS) to pre-screen device compliance.
Deploy a Network Access Control (NAC) system to enforce security compliance checks prior to network access.
Setting up a Network Access Control (NAC) system aligns perfectly with the requirements of a Zero Trust security model by mandating that all devices meet the organization's strict security policies before obtaining network access. This is crucial as NAC systems perform thorough security posture assessments against company-specific policies. Unlike general intrusion detection systems or enhanced firewall settings, NAC directly checks and ensures device compliance as a prerequisite to network access.
