11.1
Introduction
F-Secure Corporation participates in the Network Admission Control
(NAC) collaboration led by Cisco Systems®. NAC can be used to restrict
the network access of hosts that have too old virus definition databases,
or anti-virus or firewall module disabled.
F-Secure NAC plug-in communicates with Cisco® Trust Agent (CTA), a
client software on the hosts that collects the security related information
from the host and communicates the data to Cisco Secure Access Control
Server (ACS). Based on this data, an appropriate access policy is applied
to the host.
For more information about NAC, see

.
The installation package for F-Secure Client Security contains an option
to install the Cisco NAC Plugin. When you select this option, the CTA
must already be installed on the host. In addition to this, the ACS server
must be configured to monitor F-Secure product related security
attributes.
