Automated compliance

IBM will also join the Cisco Network Admission Control (NAC) program and plans to integrate certain IBM Tivoli security management software with Cisco infrastructure products that are involved in the program. The Cisco NAC program fosters enhanced security within the network by allowing customers to examine the security status of endpoints such as PCs and servers, and automatically permit or deny endpoint access to critical network and system resources based on customers’ pre-defined corporate IT security policies. IBM’s participation in the Cisco NAC program will extend its capability to automatically examine system and application credentials and provide more effective remediation strategies for non-compliant endpoints that could otherwise pose a security threat to businesses.
