- quickNAC - Deploy ENDFORCE Enterprise throughout the environment. This software deployment is quickly and easily pushed throughout the environment, and integrates smoothly with the enterprise network. Through pre-planning in the quickPROOF phase, ENDFORCE is able to help any enterprise make this an efficient and effective deployment. We typically recommend 3 phases to any deployment:
- Report-only Mode - The first step in the deployment of any NAC solution should be in a report-only mode. ENDFORCE offers our customers the ability to initially deploy the NAC solution in a manner where information about every endpoint is only being collected, not acted upon. This expands the baseline of understanding about compliance levels that quickSCAN provides, and helps an enterprise establish an optimal policy for each group of users. Many enterprises choose to exist in report-only mode for a long period of time, while others choose to gather information for only a week or two.
- Report and Message Mode - The second step in a NAC solution deployment is to inform the users of their compliance states and the action that will begin to be taken when they are out of compliance in the future. This is the Report and Message Mode of ENDFORCE Enterprise. By using the customizable messaging feature, end users can be informed as to exactly how their machine is out of compliance and how to remediate to gain compliance. It is suggested that through messaging a timeline for turning on policy enforcement is communicated to the end users.
- Endpoint Enforcement - The third step in deployment is to turn on the quarantine and network access control functionality, and integrate with remediation systems when desired. All non-compliant and rogue users can be re-directed to a quarantined segment of the network until they gain compliance. Reporting and messaging is still active, and complete NAC functionality is now obtained.
