Genian NAC

What Genian NAC is

Genian NAC controls network access by assessing a connecting device’s identity, posture, and access context, then applying an access decision. Its Layer 2 Network Sensor monitors IP-enabled devices in real time without changing existing network configuration. Device Platform Intelligence adds identity, business context, and vulnerability information, including CVEs. Administrators can enforce access through built-in 802.1X RADIUS and DHCP servers, ARP enforcement, TCP reset, inline enforcement, or actions on firewalls and switch ports. Policies can group devices using more than 500 predefined conditions and quarantine or remediate devices that do not comply.

For BYOD and guest access, the product includes a captive web portal, self-service compliance guidance, role-based access, and approval workflows. Integrations cover firewalls, VPN, IDS/IPS, vulnerability management, MDM, SIEM, APT, DLP, CRM, and ERP products; custom connections can use Webhook, REST API, or Syslog. An optional endpoint agent manages settings, applications, OS updates, peripherals, wireless connections, and scripts. Genian NAC supports wired, wireless, VPN, and 802.1X access control, with hybrid deployment and API, Linux, macOS, self-hosted, web, and Windows platforms. Genians was founded in 2005 and is headquartered in South Korea.

Who it suits

Genian NAC suits organizations that need to assess and control access for wired, wireless, or VPN-connected devices, including government, finance, manufacturing, and enterprise organizations. Its guest access tools and optional endpoint agent also suit teams that manage BYOD and device compliance.
