Portnox announced the general availability of the first cloud-native
Terminal Access Controller Access Control Server (TACACS+) solution to
help midmarket businesses more easily manage network device
administration and access management across increasingly distributed
networks.
"We are dedicated to simplifying network
security so midmarket IT teams have the same level of visibility and
control as their enterprise IT counterparts with unlimited budgets and
resources," noted Denny LeCompte, CEO at Portnox. "Building out a
cloud-native TACACS+ solution was a natural next step for our team after
the overwhelming response to our NAC-as-a-Service platform. The
enthusiastic adoption of our NAC-as-a-Service offering influenced us to
offer a free version of TACACS+-as-a-Service as an initial entry point
for all organizations. We firmly believe that once IT professionals get
their hands on our suite of cloud-native solutions, they will be blown
away by their ease of use, simplicity and power."
Continuing its commitment to delivering
network security products that are easy for the mid-market to use, scale
and maintain, the new cloud-native Portnox TACACS+-as-a-Service
offering empowers users to easily enforce network authentication,
authorization, and accounting (AAA) services and policies for network
devices - functionality once only available to large enterprises. Offering a free entry-level tier,
Portnox now allows any organization to deploy this must-have network
security technology for up to 100 network devices - such as wireless
access points and wired switches - under the authority of a single
administrator.
Already helping more than 1,000
organizations around the globe navigate the ever-changing cybersecurity
landscape, the new cloud-native Portnox TACACS+-as-a-Service solution
provides network device authentication, authorization and accounting
services, including:
- User authentication for network devices
via Open LDAP and integrations with Azure Active Directory, Google
Workspace, Microsoft Active Directory and OKTA
- Policy enforcement for network device
access and configuration changes to privilege levels, allowed services,
autocommands, custom attributes, and more
- Automated audit trails for user activity
and attributes across network devices such as user identities, start and
stop times, executed commands, packet transfers, etc.
Since closing its Series A earlier
this year, Portnox has invested heavily in its product and people.
Notable new leadership hires across the C-Suite include COO Said Aziz,
CMO Marie-Laure Carvalho, and CRO Shon Turner. The company has also
drastically increased its employee count in Sales, Marketing, Product,
Engineering, and other departments across the United States, Europe and
Israel to fuel its growth, growing its workforce by more than 50 percent
since the start of 2022.
