Financial Services Firm Protects Client Information, Ensures Security With New Server

Overview

RCM needs to make sure that mobile devices stay compliant with security guidelines while users are traveling. It also needs a way to remediate noncompliant devices so that users can access important network resources. In addition, outside users - such as partners, vendors, and suppliers - need to access some of the company's network resources without compromising network security by propagating viruses and other malicious software. RCM evaluated McAfee Network Access Control (NAC) and Windows Server 2008 NAP as a solution. Based on a combination of factors - cost of software, cost of third-party skills, interoperability capability, and performance - the company chose Windows Server 2008.
