奧斯汀，德克薩斯州 — 2025 年 12 月 9 日 — 雲原生零信任存取控制解決方案的領導者 Portnox，今日宣布其 Portnox Cloud 平台在 新奧爾巴尼弗洛伊德縣聯合學區 (NAFCS) 成功且快速地完成部署。此次部署簡化了學區 20 棟建築和約 15,000 個連網端點的設備可見性和安全存取控制。

挑戰：企業級風險，資源有限

NAFCS 是印第安納州的一個 K-12 學區，為超過 13,000 名學生和教職員提供服務，並管理著包含超過 12,500 台 Chromebook 在內的多樣化設備生態系統。面對不斷升級的網絡風險，該學區需要一個能夠有效管理其有線和無線環境的全面網絡存取控制 (NAC) 解決方案。

經過徹底的供應商評估，學區選擇了 Portnox 的雲原生 NAC 平台，特別是因為它的營運簡便性、部署速度和可擴展性。

小型團隊，大型企業成果

Portnox 行政總裁 Denny LeCompte 指出，K-12 學區面臨著與大型企業相似的網絡風險，但往往缺乏相應的資源。「這正是雲原生存取控制發光發熱的地方，」他說道。「透過消除傳統 NAC 的複雜性，我們賦予小型 IT 團隊實現大型團隊成果的能力——更快、更輕鬆，且無需昂貴的硬體成本。NAFCS 的快速部署就是我們打造 Portnox Cloud 的初衷。」

關鍵部署亮點與效益

• 快速部署： 學區範圍內的 NAC 在數週內完成，由一個僅有兩人的網絡團隊高效管理。
• 統一設備管理： 在所有 20 棟建築中，實現了對託管端點（Chromebooks）和非託管/IoT 設備的無縫控制。
• Google Workspace 整合： 無縫整合支援學區龐大的 Chromebook 數量，簡化了身份管理。
• 消除手動工作： 提供了實時可見性，並消除了靜態交換機端口分配的需要。設備連網後，Portnox 會自動處理存取控制。
• 成本效益高的安全性： 強化了學區的安全態勢並滿足了合規要求，無需額外的硬體投資。

意料之外的營運優勢：

• 由於 Portnox 響應迅速的支援，Google Workspace 同步問題得以迅速解決。
• 非 IT 部門（如設施部門）現在可以自主部署基於 IP 的系統，而無需增加核心 IT 團隊的負擔。

德州奧斯汀 — 2025 年 11 月 4 日 — 雲原生零信任存取控制和網絡安全解決方案的領導者 Portnox，今日驕傲地宣布，其旗艦平台 Portnox Cloud 在享有盛譽的 2025 年 CODiE 獎中，被評選為最佳網絡安全系統/工具。這項認可突顯了 Portnox 在為資源有限的 IT 團隊簡化企業級安全方面的影響力。

統一存取與安全

Portnox 提供了一種統一的存取控制方法，將基本安全功能整合到單一的 零信任 解決方案中，保護應用程式、網絡和基礎設施。該平台包括：

• 無密碼身份驗證： 簡化且高度安全的使用者驗證。
• 風險監控： 對網絡和設備狀態進行持續評估。
• 授權與合規： 在整個環境中嚴格執行政策。

這種方法為安全團隊提供了消費級解決方案的易用性，同時具備企業級零信任防禦的強大功能和可信賴性，以抵禦現代網絡威脅。

Authentication is a crucial part of IT security, but it can often fail due to several common issues. This article from Portnox explains why strong authentication is so important and details the main causes and consequences of authentication failures.

Common Causes of Authentication Failures

The article discusses a variety of authentication methods, including passwords, biometrics, and multi-factor authentication (MFA). It identifies the following as the main reasons for authentication failures:

• Weak Passwords: Users often create simple passwords that are easy to guess or crack.
• Phishing Attacks: Hackers trick users into revealing their login credentials.
• Lack of User Training: Employees may not understand the importance of security best practices.
• System Misconfigurations: Improperly set up security systems can create vulnerabilities.

Consequences and Prevention

The consequences of these failures can be severe, including data breaches, loss of customer trust, and major operational disruptions. To prevent these problems, the article recommends strengthening password policies, providing better user training, and implementing robust security measures like MFA.

Portnox, a leader in cloud-native zero trust access control and cybersecurity solutions, has announced the appointment of Matt Dircks to its Board of Directors. The addition of Dircks is a significant step for Portnox as it looks to scale its platform and expand its global presence to help organizations secure their networks and applications with unified access control.

Dircks brings over 25 years of experience in leading high-growth software companies through periods of innovation and expansion. His notable past roles include serving as CEO of BeyondTrust for eight years, where he helped the company become a global leader in Privileged Access Management (PAM) and expand its product portfolio.

Denny LeCompte, CEO of Portnox, stated that Dircks’ deep understanding of the cybersecurity landscape and proven track record make him a valuable asset. He believes Dircks’ guidance will help the company navigate its next phase of growth and continue to deliver simple, scalable, and effective security solutions for IT teams with limited resources.

Dircks expressed his excitement to join the Portnox team at a pivotal point in its journey, noting the company’s focus on delivering modern, cloud-native zero trust access control. He looks forward to helping accelerate Portnox’s mission to bring its capabilities to more businesses worldwide.

This article announces the strategic integration between Portnox, a leader in Cloud-Native Access Control, and SentinelOne, a prominent cybersecurity platform company. The new partnership aims to provide organizations with a unified and autonomous security solution that ensures real-time access control for all managed and unmanaged devices across the network.

How the Integration Works

The collaboration combines Portnox’s advanced cloud-native network access control (NAC) with SentinelOne’s Singularity™ XDR platform. This allows organizations to automate security policies based on device posture. When a device attempts to connect to the network, the Portnox NAC solution queries SentinelOne in real-time for its security status. If the device is found to be compromised, Portnox can automatically block or quarantine it, preventing the threat from spreading across the network. This automated, real-time response helps to fortify an organization’s security posture and provides a seamless layer of defense against a wide range of cyber threats.

Key Benefits for Businesses

The integration offers several key benefits, including enhanced security, improved visibility, and streamlined operations. By automating the process of threat detection and response, the solution reduces the burden on IT and security teams. It provides comprehensive visibility into all devices on the network, enabling organizations to enforce consistent security policies and ensure compliance. The proactive nature of the integration allows businesses to respond to threats in real-time, minimizing the risk of data breaches and other security incidents.
