Hi Gopi,
There are two approaches to this problem. One way is to go with the
Cisco Access Control Solution which would require any machine coming alive on
the network to go through a compliance check on things like Anti-Virus,Patches
etc. and if the machine is not compliant, then it would have a restricted
network behavior.
The other way is to go with Active/Passive Vulnerability scanners. These
products scan the machine for patch levels and vulnerabilities and generate
detailed reports. Number of products out there from companies like tenable,Eeye
and some also in the service model like Qualys. However, in this case you would
need to hook up the product with a patch management solution to automate the
whole process or individually go and install patches.
Thanks
Proneet.

Dear Team...
I have used few IDS in my network, doesn't found them working in the way i
wanted. My requirement is when there is a machine / laptop are connected to my
network, which is not updated with the current Patches, Security updates which
is being approved needs to be reported to the Sys admin and immediate necessary
steps would be taken. Is it possible to have this & if so suggest me the
options pls.
Regards,
Gopi
