Portnox continuously secures and governs access for human and non-human identities across networks, applications, and infrastructure — turning risk signals into enforcement actions.
Whether it’s an employee, a contractor’s device, or an AI agent, Portnox sees it, evaluates it, and acts on it in real time — no manual intervention required.
Today’s enterprise is no longer protected by a single perimeter. Users are remote. Devices are everywhere. Applications are distributed. Infrastructure is more exposed. And non-human identities — including service accounts, automation workflows, and AI agents — are requesting access alongside employees.
Most organizations now manage access across too many tools, policies, and enforcement points. That creates gaps. Unknown devices get connected. Risky endpoints keep access. Manual response slows teams down. And non-human identities often operate without the same controls applied to users.
Portnox helps close those gaps with secure access control built for every identity.
Portnox gives security teams one place to control who and what can access critical resources. Access is enforced based on identity, device posture, compliance status, and risk signals — so every connection is evaluated before access is granted and continuously governed after.
From validating users, devices, machines, and AI agents at the point of access, to enforcing least privilege across network, app, and infrastructure layers, to automatically revoking access when risk changes — Portnox turns policy into enforcement. Every access event is logged for a complete audit trail.
Employees, contractors, admins, and third-party users need secure access to the right resources without creating unnecessary friction.
Managed devices, unmanaged devices, BYOD, IoT, and headless devices need to be discovered, evaluated, and controlled before they connect.
Service accounts, certificates, infrastructure access, and automation workflows need scoped access and policy enforcement.
AI agents and bots need the same access governance as users and devices — including least privilege, continuous monitoring, and fast revocation.
Portnox brings key access control capabilities together in one cloud-native zero trust platform.
| Access area | Portnox capability |
|---|---|
| Network access | Control wired, wireless, and remote access with cloud NAC |
| Application access | Enforce secure access to private applications with ZTNA |
| Authentication | Use cloud RADIUS to authenticate users and devices |
| Infrastructure access | Govern privileged access with TACACS+ |
| Device access | Issue, manage, and revoke certificates tied to identity and policy |
| Certificate-based access | Restrict, quarantine, or revoke access |
| AI & machine access | Apply access policies to non-human identities |
Your security stack already detects risk. CrowdStrike, SentinelOne, Microsoft Defender, and others generate signals when devices go risky or compliance fails. Portnox turns those signals into enforcement actions.
| Risk signal | Portnox enforcement action |
|---|---|
| Device becomes noncompliant | Restrict or deny access |
| Endpoint risk increases | Quarantine or re-segment |
| Unknown device connects | Block or isolate |
| Suspicious behavior is detected | Revoke or limit access |
| Certificate should no longer be trusted | Revoke certificate-based access |
| AI agent behaves unexpectedly | Restrict, quarantine, or revoke access |
