Overview:

Visibility, Zero Trust Access and Incident Response for Connected Assets and Users

FortiNAC™ continues to be a cutting-edge network access control solution, enabling organizations to enforce network access policies and assure adherence to security protocols in light of increasingly sophisticated threats. It provides a comprehensive snapshot of all devices and users on the network, facilitating granular control of access based on user roles, device types, network locations, and now the behavioral patterns of devices and users.

The solution’s capability now extends beyond automated onboarding of new endpoints; it incorporates real-time threat intelligence and continuous risk assessment of devices, leveraging machine learning and AI technologies from FortiGuard Services. Given the rising prominence of BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) and IoT (Internet of Things), FortiNAC’s continuous monitoring and immediate remediation of non-compliant devices have become even more crucial.

Moreover, FortiNAC’s integration goes beyond third-party security solutions; it integrates with a wide range of cloud-based platforms and DevOps tools to ensure seamless and secure network operations in hybrid IT environments. FortiNAC leverages its integration with FortiAnalyzer to gain deep insight into network security posture, encompassing realtime visibility, predictive analytics, and more robust compliance reporting. With FortiNAC, organizations can more effectively secure their network against unauthorized access, potential threats, and increasingly, the insider threats, aligning with the emerging Zero Trust security model that emphasizes “never trust, always verify”

Features

Granular Visibility Across the Network for Every Device and User

FortiNAC leverages AI and machine learning from FortiGuard Security Services to provide detailed profiling of devices, including headless devices and IoT assets on your network. This profiling incorporates multiple information sources, behavior patterns, and real-time threat intelligence to accurately identify and assess what is on your network.


Seamless Integration and Control Across Diverse Environments

With the power of micro-segmentation and Zero Trust policies, FortiNAC allows for configuration changes on switches and wireless products from an extended range of vendors. It amplifies the reach of the Security Fabric across multi-cloud, hybrid IT, and heterogeneous environments, implementing “never trust, always verify’ principles.


Automated Response

FortiNAC reacts to network events in real-time to contain threats before they spread, utilizing a broad and customizable set of automation policies. Leveraging AI, these policies can instantly trigger configuration changes and remediation actions when targeted behavior or anomalies are observed, aligning with the Zero Trust model’s dynamic and proactive approach.


Key Highlights

  • Implement dynamic network scanning to classify and analyze device behaviors using continuous, automated techniques
  • Maintain an updated inventory of all network devices, including BYOD, IoT, OT, and IoMT
  • Continuously assess risks for every endpoint using real-time threat intelligence and behavioral patterns
  • Adopt Zero Trust architecture for better device security and simplified management
  • Integrate with various third-party network tools ensuring compatibility
  • Relay real-time contextual data to SIEM, improving incident response. Ensure always-on identity checks and follow least privilege access, reinforcing the Zero Trust approach

Highlights:

Granular Device Visibility

The essence of securing a dynamic, ever-evolving network lies in comprehending its makeup. FortiNAC leverages AI and machine learning from FortiGuard Security Services, goes beyond merely “seeing” everything on the network—it comprehends and analyzes. It scans your network to discover every user, application, and device. Using a variety of techniques—it profiles each element based on observed behavior, real-time threat intelligence, as well as tapping into FortiGuard’s IoT Services, a cloud-based database for identification lookups

Scanning can be active or passive, utilizing permanent agents, dissolvable agents, or agentless approaches. Moreover, FortiNAC can evaluate a device against pre-approved profiles, noting any discrepancies or software updates required to patch vulnerabilities. With FortiNAC, the network isn’t just known—it’s understood, assessed, and continually monitored.

Besides recognizing the entire network, FortiNAC’s advanced visibility incorporates passive traffic analysis, leveraging Fortinet FortiGate appliances as sensors to identify anomalous behavior patterns. These patterns can indicate a potential compromise, triggering real-time alerts for the SOC team and aligning with the proactive threat containment approach integral to the Zero Trust model.


Network Security and Intelligent Segmentation

After successful classification of devices and user identification, FortiNAC now integrates advanced segmentation techniques to ensure only authorized users and devices have access to requisite resources, thus preventing unauthorized intrusion. Through its progressive rolebased network access control, FortiNAC allows for strategic network segmentation by logically grouping similar data and applications, limiting access to a particular set of users or devices. This strategy effectively confines a compromised device, thereby inhibiting its ability to traverse the network and inflict damage on other resources. FortiNAC not only fortifies the protection of sensitive data and vital assets but also ensures adherence to internal, industrial, and government regulations and mandates


Device Integrity Verification and Malware Prevention

FortiNAC emphasizes on the importance of device integrity prior to network connection, significantly reducing the risk and potential spread of malicious software. As a device attempts to join the network, FortiNAC assesses its configuration for compliance. Any non-compliant configuration is promptly managed; for instance, the device may be allocated to an isolated or restricted access VLAN, devoid of any access to corporate resources. This feature has become increasingly relevant with the rise of IoT devices and remote work trends, ensuring a secure and controlled network environment.


Intelligent Monitoring and Automated Reaction

FortiNAC proactively supervises the network continuously, examining endpoints to verify their compliance with predefined profiles. Leveraging modern security tactics, FortiNAC rescreens devices to prevent any possible bypassing of network access security via MAC-address spoofing. Further, FortiNAC is equipped to identify irregularities in traffic patterns, a vital feature considering the growing complexities in network usage patterns with the rise of cloud and edge computing. This passive anomaly detection function operates symbiotically with FortiGate appliances. Upon recognizing a compromised or susceptible endpoint as a potential risk, FortiNAC promptly instigates an automated reaction, quarantining the endpoint in realtime, furthering its commitment to maintaining a secure and controlled network environment.


FortiGate Sessions View

The FortiGate Sessions view adds the ability to accept netflow data from third party devices. Flows from other devices would also show up in this view.

Deployment Options

Easy Deployment

FortiNAC is a flexible and scalable solution that spans from mid-size to very large enterprise deployments. There are three elements to the FortiNAC solution.


High Availability

FortiNAC offers High Availability for disaster recovery to ensure redundancy. This state is achieved through active and passive instances where the passive (backup) becomes active when the main is no longer functioning normally. FortiNAC Manager can manage multiple high availability clusters distributed throughout the network as needed.


Centralized Architecture

FortiNAC is an ‘out of band’ solution, meaning it does not sit in-line of user traffic. This architecture allows FortiNAC to be deployed centrally and manage many remote locations. Visibility, control, and response are achieved by integrating with, and leveraging the capabilities of, the network infrastructure. Control can be applied at the point of connection, at the very edge of the network while security device integrations allow FortiNAC to process security alerts and treat them as triggers for automated threat mitigation through customizable work flows.

Fortinet FortiNAC

Data collection is gathered from multiple sources using a variety of methods. SNMP, CLI, RADIUS, SYSLOG, API and DHCP fingerprints can all be used to achieve the detailed end-toend visibility necessary to create a truly secure environment.
