# Understanding 802.1X and TrustSec Software-defined Segmentation # What is 802.1X?
In the ever-evolving landscape of network security, understanding and implementing robust security protocols is paramount. 802.1X is an IEEE Standard for port-based Network Access Control (PNAC). It is a protocol that enhances security in networks, both wired and wireless, by providing an authentication mechanism for devices trying to connect to a LAN or WLAN.
Among these, 802.1X and Cisco TrustSec, which involves software-defined segmentation, play a crucial role in securing network access and data transmission.

## What is 802.1X?
802.1X is an IEEE Standard for port-based Network Access Control (PNAC). It is a protocol that enhances security in networks, both wired and wireless, by providing an authentication mechanism for devices trying to connect to a LAN or WLAN.
### Key Features of 802.1X: ### Key Features of 802.1X:
- **Authentication**: It uses the Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) over LAN (EAPOL) to authenticate devices. - **Authentication**: It uses the Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) over LAN (EAPOL) to authenticate devices.
