Portnox Announces New NAC-as-a-Service, Portnox CLEAR App for the Palo Alto Networks Application FrameworkPortnox, a market leader for network visibility, access control and device risk management solutions, today unveiled its Portnox (News - Alert) CLEAR app for the Palo Alto Networks® (NYSE: PANW) Application Framework.

The Palo Alto Networks Application Framework makes it easy to add new security capabilities quickly and efficiently. The framework extends the capabilities of the Palo Alto Networks Security Operating Platform, with a suite of APIs that developers can use to connect innovative apps with rich data, threat intelligence and enforcement points. Organizations gain immediate security value from apps developed by an open ecosystem of trusted innovators. CLEAR is Portnox's NAC-as-a-Service cloud solution, offering network administrators obust network and cloud access controls, visibility and risk monitoring capabilities. CLEAR augments network security by providing continuous endpoint visibility, including real-time risk assessments in all locations, discovery and visibility of IoT and BYOD devices. Portnox CLEAR generates unique risk scores for each device based on the security configuration and posture of the device in conjunction with contextual behavior patterns, whether a device is on or off premise, over wired, VPN or wireless networks. As part of the Application Framework, the Portnox CLEAR app will enable customers to monitor a network or endpoint threat indications from the Framework, update the risk score of devices, and, based on policy, automatically authorize or block devices from accessing the network.
