Before city employees reach the corporate SSID, devices must prove patch and disk-encryption posture. Which control provides that gate?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
A fancy SSID name does not mean the laptop is healthy. NAC plus MDM posture is the bouncer that checks patches and encryption before the corp Wi-Fi party. Policy PDFs and MAC lists alone do not prove device health.
Full Explanation
Network Access Control integrated with MDM (or similar endpoint management) can evaluate posture—such as patch level and disk encryption—before granting employee SSID privileges. Renaming an SSID or showing an AUP does not validate device health. Static MAC allow-lists are easily spoofed and lack continuous compliance signals.
