GUEST is the OpenNAC Enterprise module that authenticates external users on their personal devices.

4.6.1.1. What is Guest?

When we talk about Guest module, we think about external users and their devices going through an authentication process to access the corporate network.

This way, connectivity is efficiently provided to third parties while keeping the corporate network secure. We ensure that all devices comply with security requirements and regulations.

The process is automated, and the involvement of the IT department is reduced.

• Adaptive security: Dynamically adapts your network to changing demands and the access permissions of numerous guest users. This way you can modify the access rights of multiple guest users.

• Regulatory compliance (GDPR): Defines the security baseline required for access to the corporate network from any device (AV, FW, OS, etc.). Guaranteeing that partners and contractors comply with security criteria.

• Customized workflow: Add other steps to the sign-in process (internal sponsor, IT personnel confirmation …) and customize the captive portal for authentication.

• Reduced workload: Free up the IT department by automating the sign-in process with a customizable captive portal.
