You need network access control (NAC) not just to ensure compliance of known computers (whether managed or unmanaged) but also to exclude unauthorized computers. Having an enterprise-level strategy for security compliance and access control is essential in protecting your organization from a broad spectrum of potential threats.

Quarantining and blocking access are tools of last resort, and different scenarios will require different approaches.
