IT'S hard to keep track of all corporate computers on a network, after all, not all employees apply security patches religiously and some even turn off firewalls.

But companies can have more control, with Sophos Endpoint Security and Control 8.0.

The security software integrates Network Acces Control (NAC) with security applications such as anti-virus, firewall and the like, so companies won't have to spend a bomb on separate NAC solutions.

With the technology, computers on the network can be updated with authorised software and security patches.

And even guest computers plugging into the network can be protected.
