FortiNAC

Visibility, Zero Trust Access, and Incident Response for Connected Assets and Users

FortiNAC delivers granular device visibility with AI-driven profiling, Zero Trust segmentation and automated threat response. It secures diverse, multi-vendor networks and now adds hardened FortiNAC-F appliances for enhanced performance and compliance.

What is FortiNAC?

FortiNAC is a scalable network access control (NAC) platform that delivers comprehensive visibility, real-time control and automated response for every device and user on your network.

FortiNAC enforces policy-driven access and containment while extending Fortinet’s Security Fabric to all connected assets. It combines AI-enhanced profiling, device classification and behaviour analysis with Zero Trust segmentation to secure traditional, hybrid and multi-vendor environments.

As a certified UK Fortinet partner, we setup FortiNAC subscriptions for enterprise and data-centre networks.

Key Benefits

  • Full Device Discovery and Profiling
    Identifies and classifies all network endpoints — including headless devices, IoT, OT and BYOD — using FortiNAC’s native and FortiGuard-powered category databases alongside behavioural indicators.

  • Zero Trust Network Access Controls
    Implements dynamic access policies with micro-segmentation to enforce “never trust, always verify” principles across wired, wireless and VPN environments, regardless of vendor.

  • Automated Remediation and Enforcement
    Responds in real time to network events and anomalies with configurable automation rules, enabling swift containment of threats without manual intervention.

  • Multi-Vendor Network Integration
    Works seamlessly with a broad range of switches, wireless controllers and infrastructure from multiple vendors, extending unified control and policy enforcement across heterogeneous networks.

  • Scalable, Hardened Platforms
    FortiNAC supports deployment as both virtualised and physical appliances — including the new FortiNAC-F series — offering enhanced performance, resilience and compliance support for high-density enterprise and data-centre environments.

1. Comprehensive Network Visibility
Achieve real-time awareness of every device and user on your network, with detailed classification and threat context to underpin effective access decisions.

2. Strengthened Security Posture
FortiNAC’s integration with FortiGuard threat intelligence and AI-driven analysis enhances detection of anomalous activity, enabling rapid containment of compromised or non-compliant devices.

3. Operational Efficiency at Scale
Automated policy enforcement and self-remediation capabilities reduce the burden on security operations teams and enable consistent policy application across complex, distributed networks.

4. Zero Trust Enforcement Across Environments
FortiNAC facilitates the adoption of Zero Trust principles through dynamic micro-segmentation and adaptive access policies that work across on-premises, remote and hybrid infrastructures.

5. Seamless Integration with Security Fabric
As part of the Fortinet Security Fabric, FortiNAC shares telemetry with firewalls, endpoint security and other fabric components, enabling coordinated enforcement and improved incident response.
