Genians boosts IoT and critical infrastructure security

Genians, a vendor of NAC-driven Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) solutions, announced on Thursday that it is reinforcing its commitment to securing the digital future by extending its global reach into IoT (Internet of Things) and critical infrastructure security. 

As the digital landscape continues to evolve, the rapid proliferation of IoT devices and the increasing complexity of critical infrastructure systems are creating new and sophisticated vulnerabilities to cyber threats. While traditional NAC (Network Access Control) solutions have been essential in securing network access, they are no longer sufficient to meet the demands of these emerging challenges. 

Recognizing this, Genians has expanded its NAC capabilities to address the needs of remote and cloud environments, providing granular access control across a broad spectrum of IT resources, including networks, applications, and services. This approach, known as Universal ZTNA, seamlessly integrates NAC with ZTNA, delivering comprehensive and secure access control across campus, remote, cloud, and hybrid environments.

“Over the past two decades, Genians has been at the forefront of helping organisations, from Fortune 500 enterprises to small and medium-sized businesses, secure their IT and OT environments,” said Kyeyeon Kim, co-founder and CTO of Genians. “As global business operations expand, there is a critical need for solutions that are both flexible and scalable. Our NAC-driven ZTNA meets this need, ensuring comprehensive and seamless security across both traditional and modern infrastructures.”

Erhan Türkeş, cyber security division manager at COSKUNOZ HOLDING, highlighted the benefits of Genians’ solutions, stating, “Genians’ non-disruptive network sensing technology and device platform intelligence have provided us with unparalleled visibility into our IT, OT, and IoT assets, without compromising security operations. We now enjoy contextual network access with multi-layered policy enforcement, allowing us to swiftly identify and mitigate risks associated with outdated or vulnerable devices, including critical IP cameras.”

Genians’ approach addresses the security challenges of both closed and distributed networks by combining the strengths of NAC and ZTNA. The integration ensures the integrity, availability, and resilience of critical infrastructure networks, providing a fortified defence against the evolving threat landscape.
