Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use CounterACT to manage all other NAC across all our sites, and we used this for detection and mitigation on Layer 2 switches only at this time but the plan is to start to use it for remediations also!

Pros and Cons

Internal Early detections for threats
Mitigation across all our Layer 2 networks

Definitely Netflow V9 integration

Most Important Features

Mitigation for sure

Return on Investment

So far, ROI has been positive as we can avoid more significant security issues for internal networks.
