The Nortel SNA solution

Nortel Secure Network Access (Nortel SNA) solution is a protective framework to completely secure the network from endpoint vulnerability. The Nortel SNA solution addresses endpoint security and enforces policy compliance. Nortel SNA delivers endpoint security by enabling only trusted, role-based access privileges premised on the security level of the device, user identity, and session context. Nortel SNA enforces policy compliance, such as for Sarbanes-Oxley and COBIT, ensuring that the required anti-virus applications or software patches are installed before users are granted network access.
