With Portnox’s various identity and access management integrations, you can do away with risk-prone passwords and make it easier to manage access for your on-the-move workforce – no matter the point of access.
Leverage your directory groups to create role-based access control policies to ensure that only the people have access to specific parts of the network, and prevent lateral movements across the network that could open the door to would-be threat actors.
Identity & Access Management Integrations
Identity and Access Management (IAM) is a framework of policies and technologies used to ensure the right users and devices have the appropriate level of access to systems, applications, and networks. IAM platforms like Microsoft Entra ID, Google Workspace, and Okta centralize identity authentication and authorization.
IAM integrations allow network security tools to use centralized identity data to make access decisions. By integrating IAM with network access control (NAC), organizations can enforce identity-based policies, reduce reliance on shared credentials, and limit access to only authenticated and authorized users and devices.
Modern network security solutions can integrate with cloud-based IAM platforms such as Microsoft Entra ID, Google Workspace, and Okta. These integrations allow organizations to apply identity-based access policies consistently across users, devices, and network connections.
IAM integrations are foundational to zero trust because they verify user identity before granting access. When combined with Portnox cloud-native NAC, IAM data is continuously validated to ensure access is granted based on identity, role, and policy — not network location.
Yes. IAM integrations enable certificate-based and identity-based authentication methods that reduce or eliminate the use of shared network passwords. This improves security, simplifies user access, and lowers the risk of credential-based attacks.
Portnox Cloud integrates with leading IAM platforms like Microsoft Entra ID, Okta, and Google Workspace to apply identity-driven access decisions at the moment a device connects. Using IAM attributes such as user role, group membership, and authentication status, Portnox enforces dynamic policies across wired and wireless networks—ensuring access is based on verified identity and security posture, not just network location.
Yes. Portnox Cloud uses IAM roles and group membership to automatically assign access privileges based on who the user is and what they should be allowed to access. This makes it easy to implement least-privilege access for employees, contractors, and guests without manual network configuration. Policies can be applied consistently across the organization, reducing risk while simplifying day-to-day access management.
Switching to Portnox Cloud lets you replace complex, on-prem access control tools with a cloud-native platform that’s faster to deploy, easier to manage, and simpler to scale across every location.
You gain stronger security through real-time device visibility, automated policy enforcement, and continuous posture checks—without the infrastructure overhead or maintenance burden of legacy NAC.
Modern, cloud-based NAC securing wired and wireless access with instant device discovery, posture validation, and automated enforcement.
Cloud-native, posture-aware access delivering secure, passwordless connectivity to SaaS and private apps without VPN complexity.
