Novicom ADDNET – integrated DDI/NAC

Novicom ADDNET is a unique operational security tool providing full network visibility, highly efficient IP address space management and advanced network access security management. It covers an extensive portfolio of network functions that together significantly streamline network management, while also having a significant impact on cybersecurity.

ADDNET delivers a major simplification and increase in the efficiency of IP address space management and access security management in large-scale networks.

This is achieved by integrating powerful network monitoring, IP address planning system (IPAM), basic network services (DHCP, DNS), network access control (NAC) and communication with active network elements. By integrating these services, otherwise usually separate, a new level of network management efficiency and network security is achieved.

ADDNET stands for robustness, superior operational reliability, security and deployment flexibility. All this is provided by Novicom's original technologies, such as its own SGP grid platform, the SDP communication protocol and Novicom APPLIANCE system.


Key benefits of Novicom ADDNET solution:

  • High-performance L2 monitoring with the ability to physically locate devices - thanks to integration with the cable book
  • Introduction of DDI - efficient network management of IP space - significant savings in the work of network administrators
  • Introduction of NAC - network access control using full 802.1x or MAC authentication and authorization (VLAN assignment)
  • Manage BYOD and mobile devices and uniquely identify them on the network
  • Standardization of network administrators' activities and the possibility to centralize the management of large distributed networks
  • Significant increase in operational reliability and performance of DNS, DHCP, NAC, thanks to multiple redundancy and superior scalability
  • Cost savings - thanks to, among other things, a significant reduction in labour and long-term monitoring of utilisation active elements
  • Full heterogeneity and seamless cooperation with common network technologies from leading manufacturers
  • Unique support for distributed network model - guaranteed monitoring/DDI/NAC operation even in a remote location in case of loss of connectivity to the central location
  • Additional data collection of traffic in remote locations - syslogs, data flows
  • Flexible operation - suitable for both centralized and fully distributed organizations
  • Easy deployment - thanks to a custom implementation methodology (NIM – Novicom Implementation Methodology) based on best practices and powerful initialization sniffing
  • Readiness for deployment in OT/SCADA technology networks
  • Integration of ADDNET with SOC - to ensure fast incident response (event collection / evaluation / response)
  • ADDNET readiness for integration with other tools such as MS Active Directory, SIEM, Log management, NBA, DLP, xDR, etc.
  • Alerting - quick notification of potential network problems
  • IP v.6 support

Novicom ADDNET covers the following areas:

Powerful L2 monitoring

  • Full 802.1x authentication
  • MAC authentication with protection
  • Authorization to assign devices to a designated network (VLAN)
  • Real-time information from NAC traffic

Advanced network policies, including micro-segmentation and DACL management on switches 

Support for emergency planning

Network management and access control for BYOD and mobile devices

Advanced communication with active elements

Overview Dashboard fully customizable to the needs of the administrator/operator

Detailed reporting

Incident response

  • Integration with detection tools and network monitoring tools
  • Integration with Log management and SIEM tools
  • Integration with SOC environment
  • Additional providing and collecting of network traffic data (dataflow and syslog)

Configurable Alert Center

 

Given the unique breadth of ADDNET's functional scope, Novicom has prepared its own NIM (Novicom Implementation Methodology) implementation procedures, which help share proven procedures with partners and customers so that the implementation is successfully completed and customers are able to maximize the benefits of the integrated solution.

 

Novicom ADDNET and Active SOC strategy

Novicom ADDNET is also an important part of the Active SOC (Security Operation Center) strategy that Novicom, together with its partners, is trying to promote on the market. Sophisticated network visibility, easy integration of ADDNET with other security tools and its convenient use with external monitoring centers (SOC) bring new capabilities when needed to ensure a rapid response to detected security threats.

 

ADDNET is intended primarily for large and medium-sized organizations that want to fundamentally simplify network management, make their network infrastructure more resilient, and prepare for automated responses driven by security surveillance (SOC service). Organizations, including small ones, can also use ADDNET as a service from one of Novicom's SME partners.
