// The Power of the Fabric
Why FortiNAC & KHIPU?
With the explosion of BYOD policies and unmanaged IoT devices (such as clinical medical equipment, smart building sensors, or IP cameras), traditional perimeters cannot track what is happening inside the network fabric.
KHIPU leverages Fortinet FortiNAC specifically to bridge this visibility gap. As a specialist network systems integrator, we don’t force you to buy into a single-vendor hardware stack. We integrate FortiNAC directly over your existing switching, routing, and wireless infrastructure – granting your IT department total visibility over every endpoint from a single point of control.
Core FortiNAC Capabilities.
Agentless Device Profiling.
- Instantly discover every connected entity across your wired and wireless environments without requiring software agents to be pre-installed on the endpoints.
- FortiNAC dynamically scans, matches, and profiles devices – distinguishing a corporate asset from an unauthorised rogue device the exact millisecond it connects.
Dynamic Micro-Segmentation.
- Restrict lateral movement inside your infrastructure.
- We configure automated onboarding workflows. Once mapped, devices are automatically assigned to highly isolated network segments (VLANs), ensuring that a compromised IoT sensor can never communicate with your sensitive data core.
Centralised Access Control (NAC).
- Enforce strict, role-based guest, student, and employee network policies across multi-site estates.
- Tailored quarantine policies that automatically disconnect or isolate non-compliant devices until they meet your corporate security baselines.
FortiNAC FAQs.
Can KHIPU manage or support our FortiGate Firewalls or broader Fortinet Security Fabric? More
No, KHIPU does not sell or manage Fortinet hardware lines like FortiGate firewalls, FortiSwitches, or FortiAnalyzers. Our specialised partnership is focused strictly on FortiNAC (Network Access Control). We specialize in integrating FortiNAC as an overlay solution to secure and visibility-harden multi-vendor networks.
We have thousands of unmanaged IoT devices; how does FortiNAC help? More
IoT devices usually cannot run endpoint security agents. FortiNAC solves this by providing “agentless” visibility. It continuously analyses network behaviours, protocols, and profiles to identify exactly what a device is (e.g., a smart medical pump, a printer, or a CCTV camera) and automatically restricts its access using dynamic micro-segmentation.
Does your 24/7 Managed SOC ingest firewalls logs from a Fortinet estate? More
No. Our Managed SOC is built on an elite, specialised analytics fabric optimised for our core detection and response architectures. We do not ingest telemetry from full Fortinet estates or third-party FortiGate firewall lines.
How does implementing FortiNAC support compliance with the Cyber Security Bill? More
The upcoming legislation places a statutory obligation on network visibility and asset management – you must be able to prove you know exactly what is sitting on your infrastructure. FortiNAC satisfies this compliance pillar by establishing a centralised, real-time inventory of all network-connected devices, giving your procurement and compliance teams auditable tracking data.
Is FortiNAC designed as a remote-working or SASE solution? More
No. FortiNAC is explicitly an on-premises network visibility and access control solution designed to secure local wired, wireless, and campus infrastructures. It is not a SASE (Secure Access Service Edge) or remote-user ZTNA tool built to secure off-grid remote workforces.
