Most organizations know an extra measure of access management is needed for IT staff who run their networks. The problem is one of the best solutions for achieving that—Terminal Access Controller Access Control Server (TACACS+)—can be both complicated and costly to implement. That’s why a company called Portnox announced Wednesday a cloud-native TACACS+ solution that it claims is easy to set up and use, as well as priced within the reach of mid-market companies.
“TACACS+ is a standard protocol. It’s been out for a long time, but no one has a cloud-based solution,” Portnox CEO Denny LeCompte tells CSO. “Many IT departments that would find TACACS+ really valuable don’t use it because it’s too much trouble. That’s why we built a cloud-based version.”
