Designing Access Controls

Finalize Security Policies

“Customer Needs Assessment,” meet with users and consider their input when formulating the policy. Also test policies before enforcing quarantining. (See the ProCurve Access Control Implementation Guide.)

Due to the high level of control exerted by these tests, these tests are most appropriate for checking endpoints in private zones. It is a rare security policy that requires all of the tests in this section. Go through the steps below to choose the tests for your environment.

N o t e	You might want to use some tests more as reminders to users and you than as
	deal-breakers for network access. The NAC 800 allows you to specify different
	test actions for different tests. Failing a particular test could trigger an email
	to the network administrator but not quarantine the failed endpoint.
	1. Do you require hotfixes for IE?
	2. Do your security policies dictate specific settings for IE security zones?
		Circle the security level (high, medium, medium-low, or low) for each zone
		in Table 3-97.
	3. Does your organization require users to run a particular version of Web
		browser?
