How does FortiNAC enhance network visibility and control?

FortiNAC enhances network visibility and control primarily by managing and securing network access devices through policy enforcement. This capability allows organizations to accurately identify, manage, and control all devices on their network, regardless of whether they are endpoint devices, Internet of Things (IoT) devices, or guest devices.

By implementing policies that dictate how devices can access the network, FortiNAC ensures that only authorized devices are allowed access, which helps mitigate the risks posed by unauthorized devices that may compromise network security. Additionally, FortiNAC provides real-time visibility into the devices connected to the network, enabling administrators to monitor their activities and quickly respond to potential security threats.

This approach fosters a more secure and well-regulated network environment, allowing for effective control over network resources and ensuring that users can operate within defined security parameters. The ability to dynamically respond to changes in the network is critical in maintaining robust security postures in evolving digital landscapes.
