The ability to make access decisions based on an examination of Windows registry settings, antivirus software, and AD membership status is an example of which of the following NAC features?
A . Quarantine network
B . Persistent agents
C . Posture assessment
D . Non-persistent agents
Answer: C
Explanation:
Network Admission Control (NAC) can permit or deny access to anetwork based on characteristics of the device seeking admission, rather than just checking user credentials. For example, a client’s OS, Windows Registry settings, AD membership status, and version of antivirus software could be checked against a set of requirements before allowing the client to access a network.
This process of checking a client’s characteristics is called posture assessment.
