Version 1.1 with support for integration with organization user directories

Angara Security on May 12, 2025 announced the release of an updated version of the Blazar Network Access Control (Blazar NAC). Version 1.1 includes a number of important changes to improve usability, improve data protection, and simplify administration processes.

The system interface, thanks to the complete redesign, has become more intuitive and user-friendly. To improve security, support has been introduced for integration with organization user directories, which allows administrators to log on using corporate domain accounts. This significantly increases the level of security of the infrastructure and facilitates system management.

The updated version of Blazar NAC now offers tools for automatic profiling of connected devices based on various sources identifications (RADIUS requests, OUI code, DHCP fingerprint), allowing you to get accurate data about the types and characteristics of the devices used.

Access policy administration processes have also been significantly improved. The added mechanism allows you to configure a single set of authentication and authorization rules, which are subsequently applied to the entire enterprise infrastructure. Administrators can quickly change the order in which policies are processed, making it easier to configure network access rules. Another important change was the ability to export data from the main sections of the system. This option makes it possible to easily further analyze and process information outside the system itself using third-party analytical tools.

The updated version of Blazar NAC reaffirms our commitment to creating effective information security solutions. We are actively developing the product, having all the necessary resources and competencies to implement functions and improve existing capabilities, - said Aleksandr Chernykh, Director of the Angara Security Development Center.
