Manage Administrator Access
Secures critical infrastructure
We recommend InkBridgeTACACS+ when your business needs centralized authentication and authorization of administrator access to network devices. Our TACACS+ product controls and monitors access to network devices such as routers and switches.
Command-level authorization
In high-security environments, it can be important to control the specific commands that different users can execute on critical network devices. InkBridgeTACACS+ allows for highly granular control for your unique use cases.
Centralized management
InkBridgeTACACS+ is fully integrated with our policy engine, making it easier to control and maintain user accounts. Our centralized approach reduces administrative overhead for managing access to critical infrastructure.

What is the difference between RADIUS and TACACS+?
The RADIUS and TACACS+ protocols have several similarities, leading to some confusion about which one to use, and in which scenario.
Both RADIUS and TACACS+ are AAA protocols, providing Authentication, Authorization, and Accounting capabilities. The primary difference is that RADIUS was designed to manage users accessing a network, while TACACS+ is most commonly used for administrator access to network devices such as routers, switches, firewalls, wireless access points, and NASs.
As many organizations are moving to a zero-trust security framework (never trust, always verify), TACACS+ can be a valuable tool for providing an additional level of network security. It also provides granular data on user activities, which makes it a good fit in compliance-heavy industries.
