Apple/Linux	Cisco Clean Access is only for computers using Windows operating systems. Users of Apple and Linux operating systems are encouraged to take steps to secure their computers, such as: Install operating system patches Use antivirus software Use a firewall Use a password for all user accounts

For instructions on how to ensure that your computer meets all requirements for use of Cisco Clean Access, please visit our Secure Computing site.

Windows users will also be asked to download and install the Cisco Clean Access Agent, which will communicate with the Clean Access system in order to ensure that each computer is secure.
