AnchorNAC
Know every device on your network.
Full network access control with 802.1X, a policy engine, device inventory, posture assessment and BYOD — plus built-in guest portal with corporate/guest network separation.
Key features
802.1X + RadSec
TEAP/TLS + RADIUS with dynamic VLAN assignment. RadSec (RFC 6614) for encrypted RADIUS transport.
Policy engine + simulation
YAML rule-based, explainable access decisions. What-if simulation before deployment.
Inventory, profiling & drift detection
OUI + DHCP + HTTP fingerprinting with p0f passive OS detection. Alert on hardware profile drift.
Posture + auto-remediation
Linux (LUKS, UFW, clamd), Windows (BitLocker, Defender, firewall), macOS (FileVault, Gatekeeper). Signed script auto-fix.
Guest portal & isolation
Built-in captive portal (SMS, WhatsApp, sponsor, SAML) with full corporate/guest VLAN separation.
BYOD + Intune
PKI/SCEP certificate provisioning (iOS MDM, Android DPP QR, macOS). Microsoft Intune compliance lookup.
TACACS+ (RFC 8907)
Command-level authorization, enable auth and full audit trail for network device admin access.
Dynamic ACL
User/role-based firewall rules pushed to FortiGate, Sophos, SonicWall and Palo Alto via vendor API.
How it works
Identity → policy → segment → access
- 1
Authenticate
Corporate devices via 802.1X; guests via captive portal (SMS, sponsor, voucher).
- 2
Apply policy
The YAML policy engine decides: corporate VLAN, guest VLAN, or quarantine.
- 3
Check posture
Corporate devices are assessed for encryption and patching; guests are isolated.
- 4
Segment & connect
Dynamic VLAN routes each device to the right network — full guest/corporate separation.

Two compliance modes
Correlation mode
Firewall syslog + NAC session table = enriched access record.
Inline mode
The Edge N100 bridges traffic and captures the destination (HTTP Host, TLS SNI, DNS) directly.
Multi-vendor network support
Roadmap: Sophos · SonicWall · Palo Alto · UniFi

Edge hardware
Edge N100 appliance
Intel N100, fanless, 2×GbE, 16 GB RAM, 1 TB NVMe SSD. Hardened Linux: LUKS + dm-verity + RAUC A/B OTA with cosign-signed updates.
Zero Touch Provisioning
Plug in, enter enrollment token — the edge configures itself and syncs with cloud. No manual setup.
Offline continuity
If the internet drops, RADIUS keeps running locally for up to 4 hours. On-prem: full continuity.
