Byos Secure Embedded Edge vs Genian NAC: Side-by-Side Comparison (2026)

Byos Secure Embedded Edge: Hardware SOM providing OS-independent microsegmentation for edge devices. built by Byos. Core capabilities include Retransmission Device (RTD): Decouples network connection from the host OS, preventing network-based attacks from reaching the system or applications, Asset Cloaking: Makes the connected device invisible to other devices on the local network, preventing unwanted discovery or probing, Captive Portal Protection: Enhanced security for devices connecting to public captive portal networks (e.g., airport or hotel Wi-Fi)..

Genian NAC: NAC solution enforcing real-time access control based on device posture. built by Genians. Core capabilities include Real-time Layer 2-based network device monitoring and classification, Device Platform Intelligence (DPI) with CVE, EOL, and EOS risk data, Multi-layered access control (802.1x, DHCP, ARP, TCP reset, inline enforcement)..

Both serve the Network Access Control market but differ in approach, feature depth, and target audience.
