Integrate Access Control, Enforce Network Access Policy
Cisco Secure Access Control Server (ACS) is an access policy control platform that helps you comply with growing regulatory and corporate requirements. By integrating with your other access control systems, it helps improve productivity and contain costs. It supports multiple scenarios simultaneously, including:
- Device administration: Authenticates administrators, authorizes commands, and provides an audit trail
- Remote Access: Works with VPN and other remote network access devices to enforce access policies
- Wireless: Authenticates and authorizes wireless users and hosts and enforces wireless-specific policies
- Network admission control: Communicates with posture and audit servers to enforce admission control policies
