'Implements 802.1X port-based network access control using RADIUS authentication,

When to use

• Enforcing identity-based network access where only authenticated and compliant devices connect to the network
• Implementing zero-trust networking at the access layer with dynamic VLAN assignment based on user role
• Quarantining non-compliant devices that fail endpoint posture checks (missing patches, disabled AV)
• Meeting compliance requirements (PCI-DSS, HIPAA, SOC 2) for network access controls
• Onboarding BYOD devices with automated provisioning and limited network access

When not to use

• Standalone security solution without complementary controls
• Networks with devices that do not support 802.1X supplicants
• Environments without proper fallback mechanisms for critical infrastructure
