Compare FortiNAC vs. Universal Console

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.

Universal Console (UC) serves as a centralized access point for managing all your devices, enabling you to control, monitor, and audit access to network devices and servers efficiently. In contrast to typical Privileged Access Management solutions that may take weeks or even months to implement, UC allows you to swiftly regain control over privileged users like system administrators, contractors, and external partners, empowering you to enhance security immediately. Additionally, this rapid deployment capability ensures that organizations can quickly adapt to changing security needs without prolonged delays.
