EasyNAC
What it is
EasyNAC provides network visibility and Zero Trust access control for devices on wired and wireless networks. Typical deployments discover and profile devices without agents. It uses out-of-band ARP enforcement to restrict devices, with inline enforcement available for remote access VPN protection. Security systems can send event-based syslog messages or email alerts that prompt EasyNAC to restrict an affected device. Integrations listed include Microsoft Active Directory and Entra ID, Defender, Intune, CrowdStrike Falcon, SentinelOne, and Sophos Central. Organizations can provide BYOD self-registration and guest registration through a captive portal with configurable policies. Hardware and virtual appliances are available; virtual appliances can run on-premises or in the cloud, and Enforcer Sensors extend visibility and enforcement to remote sites. Appliance models list maximum capacities from 300 to 10,000 devices, depending on network conditions and enabled features. Licensing counts concurrent unique MAC addresses seen in the previous five minutes. Perpetual licenses and software subscriptions are available, agents are purchased separately, and pricing is available on request. IPv6 endpoints are supported in dual-stack environments, but IPv4 is required for management and most key features.
For and against
For
- Typical deployments discover devices without agents
- Can restrict devices in response to security alerts
- Supports guest and BYOD registration through a captive portal
- Virtual appliances can run on-premises or in the cloud
Against
- Agents are purchased separately
