Compare AirShield vs. FortiNAC

The Internet of Things (IoT) has resulted in an unprecedentedly vast attack surface, with around 80% of these devices being connected wirelessly. Current networks and organizations were not designed to cope with the enormous scale, rapid data flow, and extensive interconnectivity introduced by smart devices. Many companies continue to face challenges in pinpointing IoT devices in their settings, leading to significant security vulnerabilities. AirShield aims to bridge this gap by offering extensive visibility into the IoT and operational technology (OT) threat landscape, enabling the detection, assessment, and mitigation of risks posed by unmanaged, insecure, and misconfigured IoT devices. Through AirShield, users gain real-time, non-intrusive visibility, as well as thorough monitoring and safeguarding for a wide array of wireless devices, including those in the realms of IoT, the Industrial Internet of Things (IIOT), the Internet of Medical Things (IOMT), and various OT environments, regardless of the operating system, protocol, or connection method employed. Additionally, AirShield's sensors seamlessly integrate with the LOCH Machine Vision Cloud, eliminating the need for any on-site server installations. This innovative approach enhances security measures in an increasingly connected world.

The rise of Internet of Things (IoT) devices has compelled organizations to enhance their understanding of what connects to their networks. It is crucial for them to identify every user and device accessing their systems. While IoT devices are instrumental in driving digital transformation efforts, leading to greater efficiency, flexibility, and optimization, they come with significant security vulnerabilities due to their emphasis on cost-saving rather than robust protection. FortiNAC offers comprehensive network visibility, allowing organizations to monitor all connections and manage devices and users effectively, including implementing automated, responsive security measures. Network access control solutions are vital for establishing a Zero Trust Access framework, which eliminates implicit trust for users, applications, or devices trying to gain network access. By adopting such a model, IT teams can effortlessly track who and what is accessing their networks, thereby enhancing the safeguarding of corporate assets both within and outside the network perimeter. Additionally, this proactive approach helps organizations adapt to the evolving threat landscape, ensuring a more resilient security posture.
