The following whitepaper presents existing challenges with the IEEE 802.1X standard for port-based Network Access Control (NAC) and authentication, suggesting that much of the frustration centers on deployment, the complexity of integration, the need for expensive hardware, and issues authorizing access based on level of device compliance. It then presents some of the benefits that 802.1X authentication affords, such as integrated management, ease of use in setting access permissions and enhanced security that is not based on pre-shared keys (PSKs). With both the challenges and benefits in mind, the whitepaper presents Portnox CLEAR – a turn-key solution for 802.1X from the cloud that maximizes the benefits and applications of the authentication standard.
