Creating Zones of Trust

End Point Control (EPC) provides extensive protection to ensure that your users’ access devices are secure. To keep things simple in this example, we will assume that your appliance has a license for Advanced EPC, and we will create two Standard zones: a trusted one for members of the Employees community, and a less trusted one for Partners. We’ll also set up a Quarantine zone for users (employees or partners) whose devices fail to match the profiles that we specify.

Creating a zone is simply a way of setting one or more conditions that users must meet before they are granted secure, remote access to resources. In our example, the user will be classified into the Trusted zone if a certain antivirus program is running (Norton AntiVirus is used in this example, but you can substitute another program). If the program is not running, the user is classified into the Untrusted zone.

The conditions you set in a real deployment will of course be different—this is just a demonstration of how EPC works.
