Network Access Control Requirements

November 17, 2021 10:06 am

Are you traveling to or working from Assembly Row, Spaulding Navy Yard or McLean Hospital? The SecureConnector agent must be installed on any device connecting from these locations.

Beginning December 7, 2021, when you connect to the Mass General Brigham network at Assembly Row, your device(s) will be blocked from accessing internal resources if it does not meet Operating System (OS) requirements. This applies to computers and servers. This requirement is also in place for the Spaulding Navy Yard campus.

Network Access Control (NAC) is a component of the security strategy Mass General Brigham is implementing to strengthen visibility and security of data and devices connected to the Mass General Brigham network. The agent currently used at Mass General Brigham is ForeScout SecureConnector. SecureConnector is already installed on Standard Windows PCs and PEAS-enrolled Macs.

Learn how to keep your device safe and secure by visiting https://rc.partners.org/computer or contact the IS Service Hub 857-282-HELP for assistance.
