NordLayer provides a more extensive collection of features and capabilities covering all aspects of network access control.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Refer to our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.esecurityplanet.com\/products\/forescout-nac-review\/\">full review of the ForeScout Platform<\/a> for more information on features, benefits, limitations, and cost.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" style=\"text-transform:none\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Top-5-Features-of-NAC-Solutions\"><\/span>Top 5 Features of NAC Solutions<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Network access control solutions can offer many different capabilities and levels of security, including access control and monitoring, automated onboarding, asset discovery, policy management, and third-party integrations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Access Control &amp; Monitoring<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This feature can grant access at the level of granularity needed to satisfy the organization\u2019s security, risk, and compliance requirements to block, quarantine, and grant varying degrees of access.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" style=\"text-transform:none\">Automated Guest Access &amp; Onboarding<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Automated guest access management and automation should be able to handle the organization\u2019s expected volume and type of guest access. Additionally, automated onboarding of corporate and BYOD devices should be considered to remove the burden of setup and approvals from the IT or Help Desk teams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" style=\"text-transform:none\">Asset Discovery, Visibility &amp; Profiling of Devices<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s important to monitor, secure, and provide appropriate access to every new endpoint (workstations, laptops, IoT, etc.). Tools should at least be able to discover and manage the majority of the expected endpoint types and volume of users for the network and should automatically block rogue devices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" style=\"text-transform:none\">Policy Management<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This feature should provide sufficient capabilities to define and administer security configuration requirements, assign access levels to specific groups, and specify the specific actions for the NAC to take with both compliant and non-compliant endpoints.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" style=\"text-transform:none\">Third-Party Security Integration<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Integrations with other solutions like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.esecurityplanet.com\/products\/siem-tools\/\">security information and event management (SIEM)<\/a> systems and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.esecurityplanet.com\/products\/top-ngfw\/\">next-generation firewalls (NGFW)<\/a> can accelerate security responses, enable more robust responses to threats, and increase the context and utility of alerts. Some NAC tools will even have built-in security functions to provide additional protection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" style=\"text-transform:none\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How-I-Evaluated-the-Best-NAC-Solutions\"><\/span>How I Evaluated the Best NAC Solutions<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>I assessed the NAC solutions across six main categories, each with particular subcriteria. These factors were weighted based on importance, and each tool received a score out of five depending on each subcriterion&#8217;s performance and availability. The final scores determined the top six tools. Then, I evaluated the ideal use case for each solution by taking into account its highest score and conducting additional research on user input and other relevant resources.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" style=\"text-transform:none\">Evaluation Criteria<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In this evaluation, I prioritized the core features of an NAC solution because of their fundamental function. Advanced protection functions follow, as these are the features solidifying the security of the solution. Pricing and transparency holds the same weight as the advanced features as it determines accessibility and long-term expenses. Then, I assessed the ease of use and admin for improved operational efficiency. Lastly, I examined customer support and compliance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Core features (25%):<\/strong> Compares all features necessary for a fully functioning NAC solution including access control and real-time monitoring, device discovery, policy management, and more.\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Criterion winner:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/link.technologyadvice.com\/r\/ivanti-policy-secure\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener sponsored nofollow\">Ivanti Policy Secure<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Advanced protection functions (20%):<\/strong> Considers additional security features like third-party security integrations, wired, wi-fi, and vpn access coverage, non-standard device support, and device health insights.\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Criterion winner:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/link.technologyadvice.com\/r\/fortinet-fortinac\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener sponsored nofollow\">Fortinet FortiNAC<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Pricing and transparency (20%):<\/strong> Assesses free trial and demo availability, pricing information accessibility and transparency, pricing models, and the lowest subscription or licensing cost.\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Criterion winner:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/link.technologyadvice.com\/r\/portnox-cloud\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener sponsored nofollow\">Portnox Cloud<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Ease of use and admin (15%):<\/strong> Evaluates features such as intuitive user interface, centralized management console, automated onboarding, and user reviews from different platforms.\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Criterion winner:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/link.technologyadvice.com\/r\/aruba-clearpass\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener sponsored nofollow\">Aruba ClearPass<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Customer support (10%):<\/strong> Includes the availability of live chat, email, and phone support, and user reviews on customer service from platforms like Capterra and Gartner.\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Criterion winner:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/link.technologyadvice.com\/r\/ivanti-policy-secure\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener sponsored nofollow\">Ivanti Policy Secure<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Security regulations compliance (10%):<\/strong> Checks the adherence and certifications to major security compliance like ISO 27001\/9001, HIPAA, PCI, GDPR, SOC2, NIST, and other specialized compliance standards.\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Criterion winner:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/link.technologyadvice.com\/r\/ivanti-policy-secure\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener sponsored nofollow\">Ivanti Policy Secure<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" style=\"text-transform:none\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Frequently-Asked-Questions-FAQs\"><\/span>Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" style=\"text-transform:none\">What Are the Benefits of Network Access Control?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Network access control provides several organizational benefits, including user and application access control, contractor and guest management, role-based access policies, cybersecurity protection, automated incident response, and comprehensive access reports, all of which improve overall <a href=\"https:\/\/www.esecurityplanet.com\/networks\/types-of-network-security\/\">network security<\/a> and management efficiency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" style=\"text-transform:none\">Are There Different Types of NAC?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>There are two types of NAC: pre-admission and post-admission. Pre-admission NAC examines access requests based on security policies, which frequently include authentication requirements such as 2FA. Post-admission NAC restricts network movement, preventing cyberattacks by requiring extra authentication.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" style=\"text-transform:none\">How Do You Implement Network Access Control?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>To implement NAC solutions, first map endpoint devices and create a network access control list. Determine user permissions and set up the necessary technology, such as authentication mechanisms and policy enforcement points. To ensure best security, keep systems up to date on a regular basis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" style=\"text-transform:none\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Bottom-Line-Control-Your-Network-Access-ASAP\"><\/span>Bottom Line: Control Your Network Access ASAP<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As network connections evolve, so does the likelihood of breaches as attackers exploit weaknesses. NAC solutions provide effective control while responding to varied organizational needs and resources. While regulatory requirements could encourage adoption, user and device control helps all enterprises by reducing risks and costs. Utilize the free trial or demo to see if the solution you prefer matches your needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>To achieve holistic network security, familiarize yourself with the different <a href=\"https:\/\/www.esecurityplanet.com\/networks\/types-of-firewalls\/\">types of firewalls<\/a> so you can create a layered defensive plan that effectively protects your network from numerous threats and vulnerabilities.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.esecurityplanet.com\/author\/chad-kime\/\">Chad Kime<\/a> contributed to this article.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n<div id=\"ta-campaign-widget-66d6c453e15b7-popup-wrapper\" class=\"ta-campaign-widget__popup-wrapper\">\n    \n<div\n    style=\"\n        --ta-campaign-plugin-primary: #3545ed;\n        --ta-campaign-plugin-button-text: #fff;\n        --ta-campaign-plugin-button-hover-background: #3231b4;\n        --ta-campaign-plugin-button-hover-text: #fff;\n        --ta-campaign-plugin-button-toggle-background: #3231b4;\n        --ta-campaign-plugin-button-toggle-text: #3231B4;\n    \"\n    data-ajax-url=\"https:\/\/www.esecurityplanet.com\/wp\/wp-admin\/admin-ajax.php\">\n    <div\n        id=\"ta-campaign-widget-66d6c453e15b7\"\n        class=\"ta-campaign-widget ta-campaign-widget--popup\"\n        data-campaign-fields='{\"properties\":{\"campaign_type\":\"popup\",\"campaign_category\":false,\"sailthru_list\":[\"cybersecurity-insider\"],\"popup_type\":\"exit_intent\",\"appearance\":{\"colors\":{\"primary_color\":\"#3545ed\",\"button\":{\"button_text_color\":\"#fff\",\"hover\":{\"button_hover_background_color\":\"#3231b4\",\"button_hover_text_color\":\"#fff\"},\"toggle\":{\"button_toggle_background_color\":\"#3231b4\",\"button_toggle_text_color\":\"#3231B4\"}}},\"custom_scss\":\"\"},\"behavior\":{\"opt_in_enabled\":true},\"language\":{\"tagline\":\"Get the Free Cybersecurity Newsletter\",\"subtagline\":\"\",\"content\":\"Strengthen your organization&#39;s IT security defenses by keeping up to date on the latest cybersecurity news, solutions, and best practices.
