Network Access Control
AT THE FIRST CONNECTION
Genian NAC. Where Execution Begins.
WHEN A DEVICE CONNECTS
Access Decisions Enforced Before Risk Enters
When a device attempts to connect, security cannot wait for manual review or downstream response. Genian NAC enforces access decisions in real time, evaluating device identity, posture, and access context before allowing network participation. This ensures that only compliant and trusted devices become part of your operational environment.
- Identify devices and access context at the moment of connection
- Enforce access based on security posture and policy
- Block, isolate, or remediate before network exposure
Features
Execution Built Into Every Connection
Genian NAC brings enforcement to the edge of your network, applying security decisions consistently at the moment of connection through non-disruptive sensing and access control. Without requiring network changes or operational interruption, these capabilities support real-time identification, policy enforcement, and response, enabling organizations to translate security intent into reliable operational control.

Network Surveillance
Genian NAC can monitor IP-enabled devices on your network in real-time using a non-disruptive Layer 2 based Network Sensor and classifies those devices and their users into logical groups based on your business requirements. Genian NAC has the intelligence to sort out a wide range of network-connected devices and their states to present immediate, meaningful, and actionable information.

Device Platform Intelligence
“Device Platform” refers to any hardware or software, or any combination of hardware and software (OS), used to access a network. Genian NAC incorporated with Device Platform Intelligence (DPI) can present the most accurate device identity, its contextual, and its risk information in order to enhance network visibility and secure network access for the IoT era. DPI can be shared through the Genians Cloud.
