Eliminate security loopholes and inappropriate downloads

Protect your guest Wi-Fi users and your organization by securing your network against internet-borne threats. Set up in minutes, with no new hardware or software to deploy or manage.

The Problem

Everyone expects secure guest Wi-Fi

A great guest Wi-Fi experience is a chance to elevate perceptions of your organization or brand, but it can backfire if it puts your users or guests at risk.

 

And if users perform illegal downloads or access sensitive data, or your employees use it to bypass your main network's security, it can expose your organization to legal action, compliance issues, and data leaks.

Traditionally, your security options have been limited. You could backhaul traffic across your WAN or deploy appliances at every site, but both are slow and costly. You could deploy a separate broadband connection, but that would leave your guests unsecured.
