The United Nations Population Fund is using network-access control technology at 11 regional offices around the world to keep potentially dangerous noncompliant machines from compromising the agency's core network in New York. "I had a few incidents, not many but a few, where people would come in from the field with machines that came back on the network that were heavily infected with viruses," says Douglas Concepcion, network infrastructure security specialist at UNFPA. "I needed a way to lock down each machine." That was when the agency had one office in New York and staffers flew around the globe on business. Now, with regional offices opening around the world and a mandate to give employees access to Web applications as if they are on the New York LAN, Concepcion needs a way to reduce the risk of infection coming in via remote access.
