What macmon NAC is

macmon NAC is a network access control solution designed to prevent unauthorized network access. It provides a live graphical view of network devices and their connections, and supports wired and wireless access control using 802.1X and SNMP authentication. Active Directory or LDAP connections let administrators map directory groups to macmon groups. An open REST API can link asset management systems and synchronize groups with their endpoints. The guest service portal supports guest devices, temporary access, sponsors, and BYOD. Integrated security platforms can share endpoint status so affected devices can be isolated automatically. Deployment options include virtual and physical appliances; the virtual appliance is supplied as an OVF file for VMware and Microsoft Hyper-V. The maker says macmon supports compliance with PCI and other ISO standards and provides direct expert support from Berlin. The Smart plan covers up to 250 nodes, with extensions in 50-node increments up to 500, and includes a virtual appliance and remote setup. It costs €4.72 a year, billed on a three-year fixed term; the listed price is net RRP. A 30-day trial is available, but there is no free plan.
