Cloud-based or on-premises software for network access security
It’s easy to underestimate the risk presented by the lack of strong network access security. Phishing attacks, botnets and ransomware may grab all the headlines. But failure to properly secure the way BYOD and guest users connect to the network with their personal devices also leaves you open to data compromise.
Hackers can spy on unencrypted wireless data traffic using widely available network analysis tools. If a user connects a device without proper security measures in place, they might introduce malware into your environment. Without role-based policies for network access, it’s hard to restrict access to the appropriate level. These are only a few of the risk areas.
Default methods for getting users connected, like MAC authentication and conventional pre-shared keys (PSKs), come with very serious security flaws. They also provide a poor user experience for network onboarding and authentication. User frustration means more help desk tickets for IT.
It doesn’t have to be this way. With the right system in place for secure network access, users can connect quickly and easily. Intuitive self-service workflows let them self-provision their devices without IT intervention. You get to focus on high-priority projects rather than day-to-day network access issues. A host of powerful safeguards increase security for users, devices, data and the network.

ESG Webinar–Does Your Method for BYOD Onboarding Compromise Network Security?
In this webinar, ESG (Enterprise Strategy Group) Sr. Analyst and Practice Director Bob Laliberte discusses network access as an underestimated point of vulnerability within enterprise IT environments.
Forest Hills School District uses RUCKUS Wi-Fi to connect more than 10,000 students and staff. And with Cloudpath Enrollment System, students securely onboard their devices with intuitive self-service workflows.
ESG White Paper - Does Your Method for BYOD Onboarding Compromise Network Security?
Network onboarding is the mechanism by which BYOD, guest, and company-owned devices initially connect to the
network. To be successful, the wired and wireless network onboarding process for authorized users and devices needs to
be efficient, as well as easy to implement and manage—ideally without any hands-on involvement by IT (once deployed
and configured). However, many organizations still rely on rudimentary onboarding methods that are built in to their
network infrastructure (such as pre-shared keys and MAC authentication via captive portal) that can both impact user
experience and create security risks.

You want to meet those expectations—but if you don’t do it securely then you place users, devices, data and the network at risk. Here are five ways to improve security related to wired and wireless network access.
Cloudpath secures every connection with WPA2-Enterprise, protecting data in transit between the device and the access point with powerful encryption. You gain visibility and control over which devices are on the network, and can define and manage policies so that every user sees only the network resources that they should see. Cloudpath software checks the security posture of devices during onboarding to ensure that they comply with your organization’s security policies. The system redirects users with noncompliant devices to remediate them before granting access. It associates every device with a user, and you can easily revoke access at any time—for example when a BYOD user leaves the organization.
