Mobile, BYOD, Guest
In the hyper-connected world of the Internet of Things (IoT), organizations are grappling with implementing Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) initiatives to deal with the rapidly evolving and increasingly complex tsunami of mobile devices, from laptops and tablets to other smart ”Things”, such as phones, watches, cars and more. Genian NAC can provide flexible and secure network access, wherever you are located, and for whatever devices you bring to the network.

IP Address Management (IPAM)
Through our intuitive IP matrix interface (Class C Subnet mask), see how many IP addresses are being used and available, which IP’s are assigned via DHCP, which are reserved, and more.
Switch Port Management
See how many devices are connected to specific ports, their connection status, port-level security, 802.1x information, traffic, utilization and more. Using 802.1x port-based access control, control any ports connected to non-compliant devices.
WLAN Security
Genians’ Network Sensor has the capability of scanning all SSIDs in your network and identifying who connects to which SSIDs, capturing not only your organization’s APs but also neighboring APs and controlling what is connecting to those APs. You can allow or deny Wifi-enabled devices accessing different SSIDs based on their policy compliance by groups, such as Authorized AP, Rogue AP, Misconfigured AP, Tethering device, and more.

Critical Security Controls (CIS) for Effective Cyber Defense
Cybersecurity compliance and the management of security risk are clearly two different things. Yet achieving the optimal cyber-defense framework for your organization requires that the two are managed in a mutually supportive fashion. Genians’ Next-Gen NAC supports this approach by leveraging the Center for Internet Security (CIS) Controls.
The CIS Controls provide global standards for cybersecurity. These have become recognized around the world for providing a set of best practices that can be leveraged to secure IT systems and data against attacks.
Basic CIS Controls Guide | Genian NAC Can | |
---|---|---|
1 | Inventory and Control of Hardware Assets | Detect all IP-enabled devices on the network and identify their specific platform information |
2 | Inventory and Control of Software Assets | Collect installed software information on all devices. |
3 | Continuous Vulnerability Management | Check the status of IT security policy compliance and remediate non-compliant devices. |
4 | Controlled Use of Administrative Privileges | Authorize devices/users based on users’ roles and responsibilities. |
5 | Secure Configuration for Hardware and Software on Mobile Devices, Laptops, Workstations and Servers | Inspect detected devices’ configuration and security settings and maintain security baseline. |
6 | Maintenance, Monitoring and Analysis of Audit Logs | Monitor every single access event by devices and log all access history as part of the audit trail |
Without disturbing existing IT infrastructure or impacting systems availability, Genian NAC gathers and monitors the hardware and software asset information of all IP-enabled devices. It then leverages its Device Platform Intelligence capability to determine each device’s technical and business contextual details, identifies all known or potential device vulnerabilities, establishes the level of user access to be provided, and ensures that all detected devices are being compliant. Additionally, Genians NAC can integrate with security solutions such as NGFW, SIEM, and EMM to share intelligence to respond to cyber threats on time. Additional controls, such as those below, can also be implemented efficiently using Genian NAC.
