The stability is relatively poor, as it has taken us roughly 12 months to get the network access control to be functional

What is most valuable?

When it works, doing what it's supposed to.

How has it helped my organization?

When it works, it's great. It keeps things off the network which are supposed to be off the network.

What needs improvement?

FortiNAC Questions

What is FortiNAC?

The proliferation of Internet of Things (IoT) devices, has made it necessary for organizations to improve their visibility into what is attached to their networks. They need to know every device and every user accessing their networks. IoT devices enable digital transformation initiatives and improve efficiency, flexibility, and optimization. However, they are inherently untrustworthy, with designs that prioritize low-cost over security. FortiNAC provides the network visibility to see everything connected to the network, as well as the ability to control those devices and users, including dynamic, automated responses.
