eTrust™ Agent for Cisco Network Admission Control (NAC) Program Now Available
This agent represents CA's inclusion within Cisco's Network Admission Control (NAC) program. Cisco NAC enabled network devices assess the state, or posture of endpoints (desktops, servers, laptops, etc.) in order to prevent vulnerable devices from accessing the network that may be a carrier of viruses, worms, or spyware. The eTrust NAC agent detects the state of the eTrust™ Antivirus client or the eTrust™ PestPatrol® Anti-Spyware agent which then passes the information to a policy validation server that then determines the access authorization.

Users of eTrust Antivirus or eTrust PestPatrol Anti-Spyware can download the agent now!
