Open Standards from TNC

The TNC Work Group has defined and released an open architecture and a growing set of standards for endpoint compliance assessment, network access control, and security automation. The TNC architecture enables network operators to enforce policies regarding endpoint integrity at or after network connection and coordination information across disparate security and networking equipment. The TNC standards ensure multi-vendor interoperability across a wide variety of endpoints, network technologies, and policies.
