Compare FortiNAC vs. Ivanti Policy Secure

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.

The solution delivers centralized visibility into connected endpoints while continuously enforcing security and compliance requirements. It automatically detects and profiles network devices, including unmanaged and rogue endpoints, enabling organizations to maintain stronger network security. Ivanti Policy Secure supports pre-connection and post-connection endpoint posture assessments to verify device compliance before granting access. The platform includes automated guest access management with sponsorship workflows and time-based permissions. Organizations can create granular role-based access policies and implement network segmentation to reduce exposure to security threats. Support for BYOD onboarding and third-party mobility management solutions allows secure access for personal and mobile devices. Behavioral analytics capabilities help identify suspicious activities such as rogue IoT devices, MAC spoofing attempts, and domain generation algorithm attacks. Ivanti Policy Secure enables organizations to improve network security, streamline access management, and enforce Zero Trust principles across diverse environments.
