What is Portnox?

Portnox CLEAR is a cloud-native network access control (NAC) solution designed to unify essential network and endpoint security capabilities: device discovery, network authentication, access control, network hardware administration, risk mitigation and compliance enforcement.

As such, the platform can be deployed, scaled and managed by lean, resource-constrained IT teams across any corporate network - no matter how complex.
