University utilizes a unified access control for
its network security system called Network
Access Control or NAC to prevent infected
computers from accessing the University network and infecting
other computers. This ensures a safe, secure and reliable
network for all. NAC helps prevent outbreaks of viruses and
worms by proactively scanning computers for certain OS
patches and anti-virus software requirements as per the defined
UAE University Endpoint Security Policy. NAC offers a
remediation portal to bring a computer that does not meet
these requirements in the compliance.
