RADIUS security news and updates from the Cloud RADIUS team.
Two widely used protocols, LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol) and RADIUS (Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service) are essential to network authentication and access management. These protocols are the crucial building pieces that allow for effective and safe user management in a networked setting. LDAP is especially good at handling user IDs and associated attributes since […]

Read StoryNetwork teams treat Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service (RADIUS) as background plumbing until something goes wrong with it. Every Wi-Fi login, VPN session, and switch port authentication can pass through a RADIUS exchange, and that exchange has run on largely the same design since the protocol shipped in the 1990s. Asking “is RADIUS secure” is […]
Read StoryA lot of IT teams still flip on MAC address filtering for their Wi-Fi network and call it a day. It feels like a security control: only approved devices get in, everyone else gets bounced. The problem is that the address a filter checks is trivial to fake, and on most modern phones and laptops, […]
Read StoryYour Wi-Fi security type is the protocol, such as WPA2 or WPA3, that encrypts your connection and controls who can join your network. Every device lets you check it in a few taps. Key Points If you’ve typed “what security type is my Wi-Fi” into a search bar, you probably got a warning message, a […]
Read StoryIn a move aimed at bolstering Windows network security, Microsoft has introduced a new requirement for all certificates used in Network Policy Server (NPS) EAP-TLS authentication: the inclusion of a Security Identifier (SID) as an attribute in the client certificates. This change directly addresses previously reported privilege escalation vulnerabilities and will become mandatory by September […]

Read StoryA RADIUS server is essential to network security since it is a gatekeeper, requiring user and device authentication before allowing access to wired networks, VPNs, or Wi-Fi. To carry out this function, an identity database, like Azure AD (Entra ID), one of the most popular cloud-based identity providers available today, must be connected to the […]
