Updated 13th October 2025

What is MetaDefender NAC?

MetaDefender NAC is a software that provides network access control capabilities designed to monitor, assess, and manage devices connecting to organizational networks. The software identifies and authorizes devices based on configurable security policies, ensuring only compliant endpoints can access critical network resources. It enables visibility into device posture by checking parameters such as security updates, antivirus status, and configuration settings before allowing network access. By integrating with other security tools, MetaDefender NAC helps organizations address the challenge of unauthorized access, supports regulatory compliance, and improves overall network security by enforcing adaptive access controls and real-time device assessments.

MetaDefender NAC Pricing

MetaDefender NAC software is offered with a license-based pricing model, which commonly includes options for annual or multi-year subscriptions. The structure typically varies according to the number of devices, endpoints, or users managed by the software, and may include additional fees for support and feature upgrades.
