PacketFence v7.0.2 released
The Inverse team is pleased to announce the immediate availability of PacketFence v7.0.2. This is a minor release with bug fixes and minor improvements. This release is considered ready for production use and upgrading from previous versions is strongly advised.
What is PacketFence?
PacketFence is a fully supported, trusted, Free and Open Source Network Access Control (NAC) solution. Boasting an impressive feature set, PacketFence can be used to effectively secure small to very large heterogeneous networks.
Among the features provided by PacketFence, there are:
powerful BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) capabilities
state-of-the art devices fingerprinting with Fingerbank
multiple enforcement methods including Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) and hotspot-style
compliance checks for endpoints present on your network
integration with various vulnerability scanners, intrusion detection solutions, security agents and firewalls
bandwidth accounting for all devices
A complete overview of the solution is available from the official website: https://packetfence.org/about.html <https://packetfence.org/about.html>
