HPE NAC Endpoint Integrity Agents protect both the network and network clients by assessing the health and security posture of endpoints before they are allowed to connect to the network. This helps to minimize network downtime and performance issues caused by attacks from virus-infected endpoints, while blocking the spread of computer viruses and other malware to other network clients. HPE NAC EI Agents can also enforce company specific requirements around client security settings and required and/or banned software on clients connecting to their network.
