Device connections to the network are controlled to ensure that only authorised devices can connect (for example, network access control (NAC))
Context and Guidance: Network connections should be controlled by the organisation at the device level. This may be achieved through a solution like network access control that does not allow devices that do not meet specific security requirements to connect to the network.
