Nozomi

When a rogue host is detected on the network, FortiNAC communicates with Nozomi and retrieves the host data. FortiNAC registers the host if it is already registered with Nozomi. FortiNAC polls Nozomi periodically in order to update records for those hosts already registered in FortiNAC.

FortiNAC collects the following host data from Nozomi:

  • Type (PC, Android, IOS, Camera, PLC/OT Device)

  • Operating System

  • Host Name

Requirements

FortiNAC

  • Supported Engine Version: 8.6.0 and greater

  • FortiNAC PRO License (only required if parsing IOC SYSLOG events)

  • Certificate used to sign the Nozomi system's certificate is installed in FotiNAC as a trusted certificate*

Nozomi

  • Supported Software Version: v19.x and greater

  • Valid signed SSL certificate installed in Nozomi system*

  • REST API account on Nozomi system

*When using SSL or TLS security protocols for communications between FortiNAC and some servers such as Nozomi, a security certificate may be required. The need for the certificate is dependent upon the configuration of the directory. In most cases, FortiNAC automatically imports the certificate it needs. However, if this is not the case, import the certificate. For instructions, see section Create a keystore for SSL or TLS of the Administration Guide. If certificate is not available, see Communication without SSL Certificate in Appendix.

Proceed to Configure FortiNAC.
