Network Access Protection

One of the new security features of Windows vista Includes Network Access Protection (NAP). This service will prevent unsecured computers from connecting to your network. When a computer is introduced to the network it will have to meet certain requirements in order to connect with the other computers on the network All computers will have to have the latest security updates with up to date anti-virus software. When accessing a network the server will audit a computer, asking it for all information about its anti-virus and security information. Essentially Microsoft took its Baseline Security Anyliser and implemented it as a network security solution.
