Markets and Use Cases

Applicable Metrics
Each control server manages up to 30,000 ports in the network.

Intelligence
FortiNAC provides real-time automated threat responses that can immediately quarantine any device that acts suspiciously. For example, if an IoT device starts pinging a DNS server, it will be tracked and an alert will be generated. The port where the device connects to the network can also be locked down pending a review by an analyst. Additionally, once a device is isolated, FortiNAC automatically delivers all contextual information to a security analyst. By eliminating the manual processes of an analyst having to compile and coordinate this information, time to resolution is shortened and the burden on strained IT resources is reduced.
