TACACS, which stands for Terminal Access Controller Access-Control System, is a network protocol that was developed by Cisco. TACACS+ is an improved version of the original TACACS protocol, which is now popularly used in the industry for Authentication, Authorization, and Accounting (AAA) in network security.
TACACS/TACACS+ Authentication controls user access to devices like routers, NAS, and switches, separating authentication and allowing fine-grained access control. With encryption and support for command authorization, it significantly improves the security of enterprise networks.
Authentication is the action of determining who a user (or entity) is. Traditional authentication utilizes a username and a fixed password. However, fixed passwords have limitations. Many modern authentication mechanisms utilize "one-time" passwords or challenge-response queries. TACACS+ is designed to support all of these and be powerful enough to handle any future mechanisms.
Authorization is the action of determining what a user is allowed to do. TACACS+ authorization might provide yes or no answers regarding access to the required resource. It may also customize the service for a particular user based on the user’s requirements. The TACACS+ server might respond to these requests by allowing the service or placing a time restriction on the login shell.
Accounting is typically the third action after authentication and authorization. It is the action of recording what a user is doing, and/or has done. TACACS+ Accounting can serve two purposes. It may be used as an auditing tool for security services. Otherwise, It may also be used to account for services used, such as in a billing environment.
Secure authentication for all environments, protecting identity & data wherever users go. Protect your network devices with 15+ MFA methods like push notifications, Passkeys, hardware tokens, and authenticator apps. No VPN required.
Admins get centralized visibility and policy control. The solution is simple for end users to verify their identity when accessing network devices.
Assign command-level permissions per user group or role. Works with your existing Active Directory groups — no migration needed.
Connect your existing LDAP or Active Directory in minutes. Users authenticate with the credentials they already have.
Pull privilege grant and deny records directly into your dashboards, SOAR tools, or compliance reporting workflows. The new TACACS+ authorization event API lets you query who was allowed — and who was blocked, without digging through raw logs.
