What is ZT-NAC and why do you need it?

Genian NAC gained prominence in the market due to the recognition that internal access to on-premises corporate/organizational networks need to be restricted and information tracked regarding all network connections. The graphic below depicts some of the problems that earlier generations of NAC solved and how they were solved.

How does Genians ZT-NAC work?

Genian ZT-NAC incorporates all the traditional Genian NAC functionality combined with new features and capabilities to address today’s challenges. Just because the network boundary is now everywhere does not mean the building blocks of NAC are no longer required. Of course, you will want to know who, what, when, where and how but this must work in the new Digital Landscape which includes wired, wireless, Cloud, VDI, 5G and more.

Features and Components

Below is a high-level overview of Genian ZT-NAC Features and Components. These features address the challenges of the new Digital Landscape to ensure your users, devices, and data are safe, compliant, and secure.
ZT-NAC Policy and Component Management
ZT-NAC Policy Servers are available in the Genians Cloud (SaaS), Public Cloud, Private Cloud or On-Prem and provide a single pane of glass for all ZTNA policies, components, users, devices, dashboards, reporting and integration settings.
Visibility for ZT-NAC with Network Sensors:
ZT-NAC Network Sensors can be deployed on physical Intel products, as VMs, Docker containers or Agents allowing for Public Cloud, Private Cloud, On-Prem, Branch or even Home applications. Providing Genian Device Platform Intelligence (GDPI), data collection as well as overlay and enforcement functions, Network Sensors are a key component of ZT-NAC.
ZT-NAC Integrated NAC/VPN Agent
The ZT-NAC Agent provides full NAC Endpoint Security with over 50 available plugins, built-in client VPN functionality, Sensor functionality, and Access Control capability utilizing dynamic firewall rules on the endpoint itself.
ZT-NAC Gateway
The ZT-NAC Gateway is available in Public Cloud, Private Cloud or On-Prem and may also be deployed as a Remote/Teleworker Gateway. It provides Authentication Services, Access Control to Internet and Cloud destinations, and is capable of applying dynamic QoS policies in real-time.
ZT-NAC Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR)
Utilizing enhanced Agent plugins such as the Malware plugin, information is collected from endpoints for processing by the ZT-NAC Policy Server. Threat detection and response is managed by the Policy Server with various real-time enforcement actions applied (ARP Enforcement, Agent, Gateway). An enhanced Agent UI provides threat detection functionality that can be enabled and configured by end users to promote and encourage threat awareness within an organization’s population.
ZT-NAC Network Detection and Response (NDR)
ZT-NAC Network Traffic Analysis is fed into the NDR Engine on the ZT-NAC Policy Server. The Policy Server compares network activity to configured ZT-NAC policies and performs an automated policy response based on violations.
ZT-NAC Network Traffic Analysis (NTA)
The ZT-NAC Policy Server processes and analyzes IP flow data from customer networks. Feeds are derived directly from customer routers/firewalls or from Network Sensors or Gateways. Collection of data is non-disruptive and provides critical insight into traffic patterns, volumes, applications, and destinations to enhance visibility for ZT-NAC.
Network Virtualization Functions
Provides Network Overlay features allowing for ARP Enforcement over VXLAN, SGT policy enforcement and IP Mobility. IP Mobility helps facilitate standardization of ZT-NAC policies across an organization’s enterprise regardless of the location of the user or device. ZT-NAC policies can be persisted at HQ, Branch and even Home locations, drastically reducing the administrative overhead of implementing ZT-NAC.
