SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps you precisely control which devices and users can communicate with each other within your NetBird network, ensuring a Zero Trust security posture.

Core Features & Use Cases

Granular Access Policies: Define rules based on source/destination groups, protocols, and ports.
Posture Checks: Enforce device compliance (OS version, client version, geolocation, running processes) before granting access.
Use Case: Configure a policy that only allows devices in the 'Developers' group to access servers in the 'Production' group on TCP port 22, and only if they are running a minimum NetBird client version of 0.28.0.

Quick Start

Configure a NetBird access policy to allow the 'web-servers' group to communicate with the 'database-servers' group on TCP port 5432.

FAQPage Schema

How do I configure NetBird access control policies for Zero Trust network segmentation?▼

NetBird access control policies configure Zero Trust network segmentation by defining source and destination groups, protocols, and ports. This restricts network communication to explicitly allowed connections, enforcing least-privilege access between devices.

Can I enforce device compliance with posture checks before granting network access?▼

Yes, posture checks enforce device compliance before granting network access by validating OS version, client version, geolocation, and running processes. This ensures only compliant devices connect to the NetBird network.

How do I restrict SSH access to production servers for specific user groups?▼

You restrict SSH access by creating a policy that allows only the source 'Developers' group to communicate with the destination 'Production' group on TCP port 22. This enforces least-privilege network access for specific servers.

What is the best way to set up least-privilege network access for web and database servers?▼

The best way to set up least-privilege network access is configuring a policy allowing the 'web-servers' group to communicate with the 'database-servers' group on TCP port 5432. This limits communication to necessary protocols and ports.

Does NetBird access management require predefined groups before creating policies?▼

Yes, NetBird access management requires explicit definition of source and destination groups before creating policies. You must establish these groups to define the traffic rules and apply optional posture checks for policy enforcement.

Why are posture checks needed for Zero Trust network access?▼

Posture checks are needed for Zero Trust network access because they validate device compliance factors like minimum client version and OS version before granting access. This prevents non-compliant or vulnerable devices from compromising network segmentation.
