NAC

Legacy NAC meant bulky hardware, complex maintenance, and endless patches. Portnox NAC brings you a different experience: a SaaS solution purpose-built for today’s hybrid and distributed networks. You get real-time device visibility, risk-based access controls, and automated compliance enforcement — all delivered from the cloud.

This isn't the NAC you know—it's the fastest, most effective way to achieve long-term zero trust.

Passwordless access built for the enterprise

No more MFA fatigue. No more forgotten passwords.

Credentials are the weakest link no matter how strong your security posture. Implement passwordless authentication with digital certificates and never worry about a phishing attempt to steal passwords ever again.

Portnox can be your certificate authority or integrate with a 3rd party. We also support SCEP (Simple Certificate Enrollment Protocol) so deploying certificates to all your devices will be simple.

Know what’s on your network—always

Gain real-time visibility of endpoints trying to connect to your network and infrastructure, plus additional context such as their location, device type, and requested access layer for authentication.

Extend zero trust security coverage to company devices, BYOD and IoT / OT alike, no matter if they’re authenticating via wired ports, WiFi or VPN.

Risk-aware access control policies

Define and enforce unique access control policies based on roles, locations, device types and more across your various network access layers.

Additionally, leverage Portnox Cloud’s powerful risk assessment policy configuration capabilities to continually monitor the risk posture of connected devices – including managed and BYOD – enabling your network administrators to understand the true zero trust security posture of the network at any point in time.

Compliance without the complexity

Quarantine vulnerable, non-compliant devices and return them to a healthy, compliant state automatically by setting unique endpoint remediation policies in accordance with your compliance requirements.

Portnox Cloud’s compliance enforcement capabilities can help your organization adhere to industry-specific regulatory and compliance standards such as HIPAA, GLBA, PCI DSS, GDPR and beyond.
