macmon secure GmbH, technology leader for network security, develops its Network Access Control (NAC) solution completely in Germany. The Berlin-based in-house development team has now been able to even extend the best-of-breed solution with further significant features in order to solve major future challenges of Corporate IT-Security. With macmon NAC, enterprise networks will be even more effectively protected against unauthorized access. Security teams will be significantly relieved of admin-istrative workload. The amount in security tools will be reduced, and the IoT-devices securely operated.
More steam on the engine
With version 5.15.0, macmon secure GmbH has reached yet another milestone. In addition to numerous new and improved functions, the overall performance of the engine could be significantly increased, again. Therefore the processing speed of large amounts of data – as they occur in the Domain Name System (DNS), the network device detection and footprinting – multiplied.
The GUI provides even deeper looks
In the optimized dashboard, administrators now can see more details about unauthorized devices in the network status in more detail. macmon NAC also evaluates the network status. This relieves the IT department from work and makes decisions easier. With new and enhanced filter wizards, macmon NAC now also offers the option of searching in IPv4 and IPv6 ranges. The filters can be even more granular. In addition, RADIUS authentication information has been enhanced in reporting and included in a NAC RADIUS report.
Scalability for growing networks
In addition to various improvements and optimizations, which result from the close collaboration with the macmon customers, it is now possible to also implement NAC via SNMP with macmon satellites, enabling decentralized NAC. The synchronization of the servers has been significantly accelerated, the interaction has been expanded considerably with more stability. The transparency of the processes and the performance of the scalability nodes has been increased. In addition, detailed status messages provide more transparency about the synchronization as well as the system status of the satellites.
Past Viewer – Smart look back and into the future
The relatively new Past Viewer feature has been further optimized to more effectively evaluate the historical data of the network. On one hand, the collected information was supplemented by further details and the search for historical data was made more flexible for the administrator.

Switch Viewer – extended functions around network components
For logins to a network device, the macmon RADIUS server can now be used for authentication. To do this, macmon NAC has a separate set of rules that makes access options controllable. The switch port layouts stored in a particular network device can be configured, and also displayed graphically. The overview of complex networks increases enormously.
