Belden NAC

What Belden NAC is

Belden NAC provides network visibility, device authentication, and granular access control for critical IT and OT networks. Its network overview includes graphical reports and topology, endpoint identification, and detection of deviations from expected status. For authentication, it supports 802.1X through an integrated RADIUS server, using MAC addresses, credentials, or certificates, and can connect to existing identity stores. VLAN Manager supports static and dynamic segmentation, while Guest Service grants external devices temporary access to defined LAN or Wi-Fi resources. Advanced Security collects endpoint details and network measurements to help identify devices and detect incidents such as ARP or MAC spoofing. Belden offers the software as a physical or virtual appliance for VMware, Nutanix AHV, Proxmox, and Hyper-V, and says customers do not need to provide or maintain an operating system. Switches and routers need management through SNMP V1, V2c, or V3 with read and write access, or through SSH or Telnet. Pricing is available on request; packages combine core features, with add-ons and special tiers for smaller companies.
