Access based on user credentials
Summary
Physical access to the network for users must be assigned based on organizational user credentials (e.g., NAC 802.1x).
Description
Adopting NAC 802.1x protects against unauthorized devices that try to connect to the network. By associating physical network access to organizational user credentials, the organizations can verify the identity of individuals asking for network access. This adds an extra layer of security and tries to ensure that individuals are who they claim to be before granting them access.
