Linux Agent

Linux Network Access Protection (NAP) Agent

Avenda's Linux NAP Agent extends Network Access Protection technology to network clients running the Linux operating system. Through a simple user interface that is available as an add-on to Microsoft’s Network Policy Server (NPS), administrators can configure health policies for Linux clients. The Linux NAP Agent monitors and reports the status of different client services, firewall status, firewall ports and anti-virus status. Depending on the health of the client, network access may be fully granted or restricted. The agent can also be configured to auto-remediate a quarantined endpoint.
