98 Building a Network Access Control Solution with IBM Tivoli and Cisco Systems
allows us to warn users if any noncompliance is found and explain the current
desktop security policy requirement. This helps to keep users aware of the
current security policy requirements and allow reporting on the compliance
status of all of the workstations in the environment.
The second functional requirement is to
restrict network access for noncompliant
workstations
. This limits or prevents the interruption of network operations
caused by worms and other hostile software.
The third functional requirement is to
provide a means of facilitating automated
remediation for eligible workstations
. While increasing the security level, the
solution should not increase the operational costs of maintaining the workstation
environment.
Utilizing the existing Tivoli Security Compliance Manager and Tivoli Configuration
Manager software minimizes training and maintenance costs, thereby
addressing the fiscal business requirement. Note that the Network Admission
Control methodology is being extended only to workstations.
