What is the primary purpose of network access control (NAC)?

To enforce security policies on devices accessing the network

To monitor network traffic for anomalies

To provide remote access to the network

A company has a remote workforce that needs to access internal resources. They are considering two VPN solutions: a traditional IPsec VPN that requires a software client, and an SSL VPN that can be accessed via a web browser. The company wants to minimize the administrative overhead of installing and maintaining client software, but also needs to support a variety of devices, including personal devices. Which solution should they choose?

IPsec VPN, because it is more compatible with personal devices

SSL VPN, because it can be accessed via a web browser without installing a client, reducing administrative overhead and supporting a wide range of devices

IPsec VPN, because it provides stronger encryption than SSL VPN

SSL VPN, but only if users install a specific client

What is the main security benefit of using a VPN for remote access?

It encrypts data transmitted over the internet

It speeds up the internet connection
