0What type of access control best describes NAC's posture assessment capability?
Answer Options
A
A mandatory access control
B
A risk-based access control
C
A discretionary access control
D
A role-based access control
Correct Answer: B
Explanation
The posturing capability of network access control (NAC) determines if a system is sufficiently secure and compliant enough to connect to a network. This is a form of risk-based access control, as systems that are not compliant are considered higher risk and either are placed in a quarantine and remediation network or zone or are prohibited from connecting to the network until they are compliant.
