Managing Nodes in the Cloud

As cloud infrastructure expands, the importance of ensuring security visibility and asset integration increases. Especially in a Zero Trust security environment like Genians NAC 6.0, real-time collection and monitoring of cloud resources form the foundation of security policies. The Genian NAC 6.0 Cloud Collector can be enabled to collect information on IP-supported nodes within a cloud environment. On a configured schedule, the Cloud Collector queries the Cloud Service Provider to identify nodes in the designated environment and other critical cloud-related details.

Cloud Environment Configuration

Prior configuration is required to use the Cloud Collector. Please follow the steps below to complete the setup before use.

  1. Cloud Provider Management

  2. Site Management

  3. Collector

Cloud Node Detection Check

This page allows you to search nodes registered by sensors using various status views and filters.

  1. From the top menu, go to Management > Node.

  2. In the left pane, click the site name created in the previous steps.

  3. All resources in the previously specified VPC and subnet will appear as nodes.

  4. Detailed cloud resource information for discovered nodes can be viewed through the node information. Go to Management > Node, click the node's IP, and scroll down to the Cloud section to see more details.
