Network Access Protection (NAP) is a platform
that network administrators can use to help protect
the security of a network. When you connect to a
corporate network that uses NAP, your computer is
checked to make sure that it has the required
software and settings, and that the software and
settings are up to date. If anything is missing or
outdated, your computer can be automatically
updated. Your network access might be limited
during that time, but usually this process happens
quickly, after which full network access is restored.
So it checks if the computer you are connecting
over network is really safe to connect or not. If any
violation to NAP protocols is there such as presence
of Virus, Trojans etc. over the network computer
you are connecting NAP won‟t allow you to
connect. Enabling NAP enhances your security over
network and you will be much safer.
