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, 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.
