- Explain the importance of an endpoint patching strategy

6.0 Secure Network Access, Visibility, and Enforcement
- Describe identity management and secure network access concepts such as guest
services, profiling, posture assessment and BYOD
- Configure and verify network access device functionality such as 802.1X, MAB, WebAuth
