Introduction

The Profiler dynamically identifies and classifies both managed and unmanaged endpoint devices, enabling control of access to networks and resources based on the type of the device.

Ivanti Policy Secure, an industry recognized network access control (NAC) solution, authenticates users, ensures that endpoints meet security policies, and then dynamically provisions access through an enforcement point (such as a firewall or switch) based on the resulting user session information - including user identity, device type, IP address, and role

Ivanti Policy Secure integrates with the Profiler to provide visibility and control of endpoint devices. This document focuses on features of the Profiler in a network with an existing Policy Secure deployment already configured with the basic elements required to provide network access, including authentication servers, sign-in policies, roles, realms, and SNMP-based enforcement or RADIUS attributes policies for enforcement based on 802.1X / MAC authentication. Refer to the Administrator Guide for details.

Deployment and License Requirements

From Profiler v1.3 onwards, new license SKUs are available on Ivanti license portal, for example, PS-PROFILER-LG-SKU. The Profiler SKUs are device count based licenses. For more information, see Ivanti Connect Secure Administrator Guide,, Ivanti Secure Administrator Guide, and Ivanti License Management Guide.

A high-level overview of the deployment steps needed to set up and run the Profiler is shown below.
