Microsoft will end support for Windows 10 in October 2025, creating challenges for organizations relying on this OS. As with the Windows 7 end-of-life, proactive action is essential to ensure security, compliance, and operational continuity. Genians’ Network Access Control (NAC) solution offers advanced tools to manage and secure Windows 10 devices effectively, whether corporate-owned, BYOD, or guest devices.
Network Visibility with Network Sensor
Genians delivers comprehensive visibility into all Windows 10 devices on your network. Through dynamic fingerprinting and real-time monitoring, IT teams can detect, classify, and manage Windows 10 devices in diverse environments, including IoT, on-premise, and cloud infrastructures.
- Our non-disruptive network sensing technology identifies known, unknown, and misconfigured devices.
- The Device Platform Intelligence (DPI) feature pinpoints Windows 10 editions and provides detailed insights, such as fingerprinting sources and Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE).
Microsegmentation with Node Grouping
Genians’ advanced node grouping organizes Windows 10 devices by attributes like type, ownership, or compliance status.
- Granular segmentation enforces targeted policies and reduces risks.
- The NAC-driven Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) model applies microsegmentation across sensors, gateways, and agents, ensuring layered security.
Captive Portal for Guest and Unknown Devices
When guest or unknown Windows 10 devices connect, the Captive Web Portal (CWP) ensures secure onboarding and compliance.
- User Authentication and Onboarding: Collects user details, enforces policy acceptance, and evaluates the device’s OS version, patch level, and security software
- Policy Enforcement:
- Compliant devices: Full or role-based access.
- Non-compliant devices: Access limited to remediation resources.
- Guest devices: Internet-only access.
Agent Actions for Direct Control
Genians’ lightweight agent enables:
- Installed hardware and software inventory collection.
- Firewall management and ZTNA Anywhere support.
- Centralized patch management and security updates.
- Peripheral devices management
Zero Trust in Action: Continuous Monitoring and Automated Remediation
Genians continuously assesses devices after onboarding:
- Monitoring: Ensures ongoing compliance and dynamically adjusts access as needed.
- Remediation: Provides actionable guidance via the CWP or agent for:
- Installing OS updates.
- Deploying security software.
- Registering BYOD devices.
