Interoperation of BigFix with NAC Systems

(imported topic written by Fukli91)

Hi

I’ve read the following about BigFix:

“Delivers a single point of security posture assessment, enforcement and remediation to support third-party network access control (NAC) technologies (Cisco, Infoblox, Microsoft, etc.) or for implementing a BigFix-based access control solution.”

I’m interested how the interoperation BigFix <=> NAP works, does BigFix use an own agent or use it (as plugin) the agents of Cisco/Microsoft Vista?

How is the information flow?

Windows Clients -> Agent -> NAC System -> Bigfix

or

Windows Clients -> Agent -> BigFix -> NAC System

What do I have to do in order to implement the information flow NAC Systen <=> BigFix, are there some plug-ins?

Thanks, Regards

Fukli
