Meet SOVA
Network Access Control.Built from experience.
SOVA is Steelborn's Network Access Control (NAC) platform for wired networks, Wi-Fi and VPN access.
Control who and what connects. Understand access decisions. Manage your sites from one cloud console, with authentication handled by an appliance in your own network.
How it works
Your policies. Local decisions. One clear view.
Your network
Requests access for a user or device.
SOVA Appliance
Evaluates locally, using your configured rules.
SOVA Console
Shows who connected, where and the result.
Stays in your network
Network-user passwords · Network-device secrets
Traffic content · Raw appliance logs
Shared with your cloud console
Usernames & MAC/IP addresses · Session & access records
Device information · Security insights · Management configuration

Access & deployment details
Wired, Wi-Fi and VPN access through compatible network equipment. Your appliance checks the request locally; your network equipment applies its decision. The animation illustrates the sequence, not processing times.
Visibility & intelligence
See what changes.
Understand what matters.
Follow access events, sessions and device observations as they are reported. Network Visibility helps you investigate unexpected activity.
With SOVA Intelligence, SOVA Brain learns behaviour and presents findings and recommendations. Your policies govern access; Brain does not independently block or quarantine users.
Turn access records into audit evidence →Clear data boundaries
Local authentication.
Central visibility.
Your cloud console receives service records such as usernames, MAC and IP addresses, session details and access decisions.
Business files and network traffic content stay in your network. Our DPA explains the data processed, safeguards, access arrangements and retention.
Read the DPA →Visibility coverage
Visibility covers devices that reach SOVA through RADIUS and the observations available for them. Read-only SNMP is strongly recommended for supported wired measurements; optional SPAN covers traffic mirrored to the appliance. Current Wi-Fi volume per client requires periodic RADIUS accounting with client/session counters; AP, radio, uplink and shared-port totals are not individual-client measurements. Automatic classification of 802.1X clients is outside this scope. Missing SNMP or SPAN alone does not reject RADIUS access.
