The bridge between threat detection and network access protection
Automated integration of Extended Detection and Response (XDR) and Network Access Control (NAC).
Isolate threats at the network access level in real time.
What is EnforceLink
EnforceLink is an integration middleware developed by IXPERTA that closes a critical gap in organizational cybersecurity — the lack of communication between XDR (Extended Detection and Response) systems and Network Access Control (NAC).
While XDR platforms such as CrowdStrike can detect that a device is compromised, the network switch often remains unaware. EnforceLink transfers this intelligence in real time, ensuring an immediate response from the network infrastructure and NAC systems such as Extreme Networks.
Elimination of manual intervention during incident response
Reduced network exposure time (Mean Time to Contain)
Compatibility through standard NAC interfaces
Easy extensibility for common NAC solutions

Key features
Telemetry Collection
Continuously retrieves Zero Trust Assessment (ZTA) scores from the CrowdStrike Falcon cloud for all managed devices.
Dynamic Quarantine
When a critical threat is detected, the device is automatically isolated by changing its VLAN or applying restrictive ACLs — at the physical switch port level as well as across WiFi and VPN.
Maximizing NAC Potential
Unlocks the full power of authentication and authorization across LAN switches, wireless WLAN networks, and VPN. Deployment depends on RADIUS protocol support within your network infrastructure.
Flexible Configuration
PFull control over your policies. Define exactly which security score triggers automatic device blacklisting.
Audit & Logging
Every access change is recorded. Gain complete visibility into why and when a device was isolated.
Tailored Customization
As the direct creators of the solution, we can extend specific connectors or adjust the logic to perfectly fit your infrastructure.

FAQ
EnforceLink is a middleware solution that requires no additional agents on endpoints. Delivered as a Docker container, it enables fast and seamless deployment both on-premises and in the cloud.
By default, data synchronization runs at regular intervals (e.g., minutes or hours), which is sufficient for most scenarios. For specific customer requirements, the solution can also be configured for immediate, event-driven response.
We currently provide fully optimized integration with CrowdStrike Falcon (XDR) and Extreme Networks (NAC).Thanks to its modular architecture, it can be rapidly extended to support additional platforms such as Cisco ISE, Aruba ClearPass, or FortiNAC through custom extensions
EnforceLink operates as a stateless engine. In the event of a service outage or loss of cloud connectivity, the network infrastructure (NAC) remains in its last applied state, and operations continue uninterrupted. Only updates to security policies based on new XDR data are temporarily paused.
Yes. If a device’s security score improves in the XDR system (e.g., after an incident is resolved), EnforceLink detects the change during the next synchronization cycle and automatically updates the NAC configuration — restoring the device to full network access.
Shorten the path from threat detection to isolation.
Leverage automated XDR and NAC integration for immediate access control and reduced network exposure time.
