Summary
Single platform for authentication & privileges across all your network gear. Role-based permissions + OTP & directory integration. Real-time auditing & detailed access logs. Supports major vendors; no compatibility friction. Built for high availability & redundant setup. 99.9% uptime to keep your operations continuous.
Overview
Manage who can access your network devices — routers, switches, firewalls, and beyond — from a single, secure platform. Designed for multi-vendor environments, this system ensures that only authorised users gain access, enforces fine-grained privileges, and keeps operations running solidly even under load or failure conditions.
Core Capabilities & Features
One centralized hub governs login credentials and permission levels across all network hardware.
Keep a full trace of who accessed what, when, and how. Filter, search, and analyze access activity via detailed logs.
Works with major network brands (Cisco, Juniper, Huawei, etc.), so you avoid compatibility problems and vendor lock-in.
Assign customized access roles and privilege levels. Users see and can do only what their roles permit.
Adds a strong second layer of verification (via mobile OTPs) to bolster security beyond standard credentials.
Syncs with LDAP / Active Directory so user credentials and groups remain consistent and centrally managed.
Deployed with master/slave clustering; active/active setups to ensure the system is resilient. Geographical redundancy keeps things running if part of the infrastructure fails.
Offers both a graphical user interface (GUI) for ease of management, and CLI for flexibility and scripting. All available in high-availability mode.
Built to keep your access control system available even during crisis times — minimizing downtime and risk.
Who Benefits Most
Organisations with complex network infrastructures spanning multiple vendor devices.
Enterprises with strong compliance or regulatory obligations — needing audit trails, strict privilege separation, and directory-based control.
Teams where centralized management of network access is needed to reduce administrative overhead and risk.
Companies that need a resilient, highly available access authentication framework to avoid single points of failure.
How We Compare
Feature/Area | Typical Access Control/AAA Alternatives | Your Centralised Access Control System (What to Emphasize) |
---|---|---|
Vendor Compatibility | Some tools work only with specific device brands; others need separate agents or adapters. | Broad vendor support (Cisco, Juniper, Huawei, etc.) out-of-the-box; minimal friction. |
Privilege & Role Configuration | May offer basic user vs admin roles; often coarse-grained. | Highly granular role definitions: specific permissions per device/user class. |
Authentication Methods | Username/password; sometimes basic 2FA; often no OTP or multifactor beyond standard. | Support for OTP; integration with corporate directories; multiple layers of user/device verification. |
Uptime & Redundancy | Legacy setups might be single server; many cloud tools rely on vendor availability; limited geographic redundancy. | Designed with high availability: master/slave clustering, active-active options, geographic redundancy. |
Monitoring & Auditability | Logging might be minimal, delayed, or less searchable; alerting often basic. | Real-time logs, high visibility, filtering & alerting; dashboard for oversight. |
Ease of Management | Some interfaces dated; setting up RBAC or vendor integrations can be complex. | Web GUI + CLI; directory integrations; role management; smoother onboarding. |
Security Assurance | Basic encryption; risk if vendor infrastructure compromised; weak controls over misconfigured devices. | Strong encryption; strict access control; limited privilege escalation; guardian over misconfigurations. |
Scalability | Scaling legacy systems may require separate servers or costly appliance upgrades. | Clustered architecture; scales smoothly; supports many devices/users without degrading performance. |
Compliance & Governance | Some tools don’t meet strict regulatory audit, or require additional components. | Built-in logs, directory syncing, role/privilege controls; easier audit compliance. |
Cost vs Total Value | Lower initial costs sometimes, but hidden costs for vendor lock-in, scaling, reliability, or regulatory requirements. | Upfront value: fewer compliance surprises, stronger security, reduced downtime; scalable and vendor-agnostic. |
