FortiNAC has enhanced our network visibility because FortiNAC monitors MAC addresses and other network devices, like Cisco, Catalyst, or HPE switches. It covers all network and MAC IDs. It gives us visibility into which vendors are being used on each device associated with a MAC address. This enables us to make group-based security policies for various devices.

The Fortinet FortiNAC device visibility feature helps prevent unauthorized devices from being plugged into our network, even if physically brought onto the premises.

Fortinet FortiNAC's policy enforcement is a valuable asset in our network architecture. It empowers us to manage and control all devices accessing our network. Even if our Wi-Fi password is compromised, unauthorized users remain restricted from accessing sensitive information.

Our users seek control and validation for devices connecting to their location. They require information about the specific devices connecting to the network, and they want to be notified when certain triggers occur. Additionally, they emphasize the importance of having security features implemented on their end to ensure a robust overall security posture.

One of our customers had a network segmentation project on which they were going to segment their network with new VLANs. They would have to spend a lot of time configuring around 500 switches if the segmentation was done without a NAC. We presented Fortinet FortiNAC to them, and we were able to help them with the VLAN segmentation project. With the Fortinet FortiNAC, you don't need to do the segmentation because the solution helps with the VLAN micro-segmentation. We could do all the segmentation they were planning by creating policies on the Fortinet FortiNAC. They only had to create the VLANs on all the 500 switches, which was easy because they have their network management solution and Aruba switches. All they needed to do was create the SNMP configuration. We had to discover all the switches because NAC has this feature on which you discover all the network devices, point the IP range, and then the NAC tries to find network devices in the environment. We created the policies the way they wanted. For instance, if it is an IP phone, it should go to the IP VLAN; if it is a Windows desktop, it should go to the desktop VLAN; and if it is a Windows server, it should go to the server VLAN. We created such policies using Fortinet FortiNAC, and we were able to help our customers reduce their expenses with their network project.

Prior to using the product we had a fully open wireless network. This means anyone could come in off the street and connect to our wifi. We would not have knowledge of who they are if the did something illegal or wrong. Our level of security has increase greatly as well as our knowledge of who is on our network.
