FortiNAC Pro License

FortiNAC PRO License

The FortiNAC PRO License is an advanced software license tier for the FortiNAC network access control platform that builds on core visibility and access control capabilities to deliver real-time automated threat response, advanced event correlation, guided triage workflows, and enhanced incident handling. It is designed for organisations that need not only comprehensive endpoint visibility and access enforcement but also automated remediation and deeper integration with security operations.

What It Does

The FortiNAC PRO License enables FortiNAC to go beyond basic access control by incorporating dynamic, real-time security responses to detected threats and anomalies. It equips network security teams with tools to automate containment actions, correlate events across the environment, and quickly understand and remediate risk — reducing manual effort and accelerating response times.

Under the PRO License, FortiNAC provides advanced operational intelligence and network defence by turning contextual device and user visibility into actionable security workflows.

Visibility and Device Profiling

The PRO License includes all of the visibility and profiling features available in the PLUS tier, enabling FortiNAC to:

• Maintain a complete, continuously updated inventory of all endpoint devices

• Perform deep device profiling using multiple methods including active, passive, agent, and agentless techniques

• Identify and classify IoT, OT, BYOD, and corporate devices with contextual insights from FortiGuard IoT Services

• Detect rogue and anomalous devices based on behavior and network activity

This comprehensive profiling capability forms the foundation for dynamic policy enforcement and automated threat detection.

Dynamic Access Control

Building on the access control features of the PLUS License, the PRO License enables:

• Role-based access policies driven by identity and device posture

• Dynamic VLAN assignment and policy enforcement across network segments

• Support for RADIUS/EAP and Mac Authentication Bypass (MAB)

• Guest onboarding and temporary access flows

These capabilities ensure that access control policies adapt dynamically based on endpoint context and organisation security requirements.

Automated Threat Response and Incident Handling

The defining capabilities of the PRO License include real-time automated responses and advanced security workflows:

• Event Correlation: FortiNAC can correlate multiple indicators to determine threat severity and trigger appropriate responses.

• Automated Remediation: When suspicious activity or non-compliance is detected, FortiNAC can automatically block or quarantine endpoints, adjust access policies, or send alerts to security operations teams.

• Guided Triage Workflows: Built-in workflows guide SOC analysts through investigation and response steps, reducing response time and operational complexity.

• Contextual Alerts and Audit Trails: FortiNAC provides enriched event data and audit trails to support investigation and reporting requirements.

These advanced capabilities help organisations implement proactive network defence aligned with Zero Trust principles.

Reporting, Analytics, and Integration

The PRO License enhances reporting and analytics by providing detailed logs of correlated security events, automated actions taken, and incident timelines. These insights help security teams refine policies, improve visibility, and demonstrate compliance with internal and external regulatory requirements.

FortiNAC PRO integrates with ecosystem tools including:

• FortiGate next-generation firewalls

• FortiSIEM security information and event management

• FortiAnalyzer analytics and reporting

• FortiClient EMS endpoint management

• FortiSwitch and FortiAP network infrastructure

The PRO tier can also integrate with third-party security systems and identity platforms to provide enriched context and coordinated response.

Deployment Context

The FortiNAC PRO License supports all FortiNAC deployment models, including:

• Hardware appliances (FortiNAC CA series)

• Virtual appliances on popular hypervisors

• Cloud-hosted instances on major cloud marketplaces

Licenses are available in various endpoint sizing tiers (e.g., 100, 1K, 10K, 50K), allowing organisations to scale according to the size of their connected network.

Ideal Use Cases

The FortiNAC PRO License is ideal for:

• Organisations requiring proactive, automated network defence

• Environments with significant BYOD, IoT, and OT devices

• Enterprises with mature security operations and SOC teams

• Networks where compliance reporting and rapid incident response are priorities

• Teams needing advanced threat detection and automated containment
