Belden | macmon – Network access control and zero trust access
Who and what may access your network? macmon supports controlled access for devices, users and external connections. SYNEDAT helps introduce NAC and application access with clear rules for employees, guests and exceptions.
Which product family fits your needs?
macmon NAC
Discover devices and control network access with defined policies. We consider existing switches, Wi-Fi, authentication and devices without user sign-in.
macmon SDP
Policy-based access to business resources using identity and device context. Use cases and technical prerequisites are validated in a pilot.
License scope, availability, term and support are reviewed for your project and specified in the quote.
Where the solution adds value
Identify unknown devices
Discover devices at the network edge and define access rules. Rollout can begin with observation before permissions or restrictions take effect.
Organize guest and external access
Separate access needs for employees, visitors and contractors. We plan approvals, time limits and documented processes for each resource.
What matters when choosing
- Identities and privileges
- Employees, administrators, service accounts and partners have different access needs. We define roles and approvals for the relevant systems.
- Protocols and devices
- FIDO2, certificates, SAML or RADIUS must fit the application. For security keys, USB connectors, NFC and supported platforms also matter.
- Lifecycle and recovery
- We plan issuance, enrollment, loss, revocation and emergency access. This simplifies rollout and avoids unresolved exceptions during operations.
From selection to deployment
Define requirements and objectives
We review systems, users, security requirements and budget. The result is a reasoned selection with a defined scope.
Validate suitability in a pilot
For an agreed pilot, we define tests, acceptance criteria and responsibilities. You receive a documented basis for the investment decision.
Plan rollout and operations
We plan migration, configuration, handover and support together. Scope and responsibilities are agreed before rollout.

Questions to help you decide
How do macmon NAC and macmon SDP differ?
NAC controls network admission and device assignment. SDP addresses policy-based resource access. We assess which approach covers your access requirements and where combining them helps.
How are printers, machines and other special devices handled?
We map device classes and supported authentication methods. Exceptions are deliberately bounded and documented. Typical operations and necessary communication are tested before enforcing policies.
How do MFA and privileged access management differ?
MFA strengthens sign-in with additional factors. PAM controls privileged permissions, credentials and, where supported, sessions. They can complement each other and are planned around your applications.
How do we start using security keys?
We first check applications and identity providers. A pilot group tests sign-in, spare keys and recovery. Issuance, enrollment and support can then be standardized for more users.
Can I request a demo or pilot first?
Yes. Tell us your intended use case. We will discuss available evaluation options, prerequisites, effort and acceptance criteria. A pilot is agreed separately before it starts.
What does SYNEDAT need for a quote?
Useful details include product family, deployment location, current systems, user or device count and target date. We clarify open points together and distinguish the product, implementation and ongoing services in the quote.
Can SYNEDAT help with rollout and ongoing operations?
We agree the services you need, such as architecture, integration, migration, documentation or operational support. Vendor support, response times and ongoing assistance are explicitly defined in the agreed scope.
