What are NAC (network access control) and 802.1X? NAC (Network Access Control) is a security layer that authenticates every user and device trying to connect to the network and blocks unauthorized access. 802.1X is the standard protocol that provides this authentication.

Bilgi Teknoloji Danışmanlık builds identity-based network access control and secure guest-network solutions with 802.1X, PacketFence and FreeRADIUS.

Overview

Let only authorized devices onto your network

In most businesses, any device plugged into an open network port can reach the internal network directly. That's a major security hole. NAC & 802.1X put every connection through identity and device verification, blocking unauthorized devices or redirecting them to a quarantine network.

With mature solutions like PacketFence and FreeRADIUS we set up user- and device-based access policies, provide a separate, secure portal for guests, and bring visibility to every device on your network.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about NAC & 802.1X

When designed correctly, no. Authorized devices are verified automatically in the background and users don't notice. With a phased rollout we transition without disrupting existing operations.
Most enterprise switches and access points support 802.1X. We assess your existing devices, use the ones that support it and recommend upgrades only where necessary.
Guests connect through a separate portal isolated from the internal network, using approval or a time-limited code. That way internet access is provided while your internal resources stay protected.
They are mature, flexible and cost-effective open-source solutions. They meet enterprise NAC needs without license costs; we provide installation, configuration and management support.
