What do you need to know?<\/h2>\n

Implementing Network Access Control reduces the risk of spreading malware by preventing machines with certain security vulnerabilities from connecting to the network. This will provide an additional layer of protection for your computer and data.<\/p>\n

Who is affected?<\/h2>\n

Anyone that connects to the School of Medicine wired network to access the internet must install the NAC agent on their device.<\/p>\n

What action do you need to take?<\/h2>\n

If you do not have the NAC agent installed you will be re-directed to a website with instructions on what you need to do to connect to the network.\u00a0 The setup should take only a few minutes. Please review the NAC Remediation Guide<\/a>\u00a0for the steps to install the NAC agent onto your machine.<\/p>\n

If your computer is already joined to the campus Active Directory (AD) domain, the NAC agent <\/b>may already be installed on your computer<\/b>.<\/b><\/p>\n
