CLOUD RADIUS FOR CAMPUS

Cloud RADIUS for Real-World Campus Environments

From Eduroam and BYOD onboarding to research network segmentation, Cloud RADIUS adapts to the unique demands of higher education without adding infrastructure complexity.

Retire On-Prem Infrastructure

Replace legacy RADIUS servers and on-prem AD dependencies with a fully managed cloud RADIUS service.

Cloud RADIUS No Hardware

Universities maintain costly on-prem RADIUS and Active Directory infrastructure that requires constant patching, licensing, and dedicated staff.

Cloud RADIUS replaces physical servers with a fully managed, geo-redundant service that integrates directly with your cloud identity provider.

Eliminate on-prem RADIUS hardware and reduce infrastructure costs while gaining automatic updates, failover, and up to 99.999% uptime.

Student BYOD Onboarding

Self-service certificate enrollment for student-owned devices across every OS in under 60 seconds.

Hybrid Ready Cloud Native

Manual device registration overwhelms IT during move-in and enrollment, leaving student devices unsecured or unmanaged.

JoinNow self-service onboarding lets students enroll their own devices with certificates in less than a couple minutes, with no IT intervention required.

Onboard thousands of student devices in days, not weeks, while ensuring every device meets campus security policies.

Cloud Identity Integration

Connect Azure AD, Okta, Google Workspace, or Shibboleth directly to RADIUS authentication — no on-prem AD required.

Any IdP SSO Ready

Legacy RADIUS servers require on-prem Active Directory, creating costly infrastructure dependencies for cloud-first institutions.

Cloud RADIUS bridges your cloud identity provider directly to RADIUS, eliminating the need for on-prem AD or LDAP infrastructure.

Simplify your identity stack while maintaining secure, role-based network access for every campus user and device.

Achieve NIST Compliance

Meet NIST 800-171 requirements with certificate-based authentication and comprehensive audit trails.

99.999% SLA Multi-Region

Higher education institutions face complex NIST compliance requirements for federally-funded research security and controlled unclassified information.

Certificate-based authentication with automated audit trails, encryption in transit, and identity-based segmentation satisfies NIST 800-171 controls.

Pass NIST compliance audits with confidence while protecting sensitive research data and controlled unclassified information from unauthorized access.

Prevent Over-the-Air Attacks

Eliminate evil twin APs, credential interception, and man-in-the-middle attacks with mutual certificate authentication.

802.1X Zero Trust

Open campus environments are vulnerable to rogue access points and over-the-air credential theft targeting students and faculty.

Mutual TLS authentication via device-bound certificates ensures both the client and the network verify each other, blocking impersonation attacks.

Secure every wireless connection against interception and spoofing without impacting the user experience for students or staff.

Resilient Backup Authentication

Maintain uninterrupted campus network access with geo-redundant RADIUS, plus Kinetic Enclave for local WAN failover.

High Availability Geo-Redundant

Single points of failure in on-prem RADIUS infrastructure cause campus-wide outages during critical academic periods.

Cloud RADIUS provides built-in geo-redundancy with automatic failover, ensuring authentication continues even during regional outages.

Zero planned downtime and seamless failover so students, faculty, and staff never lose network access.

PLATFORM CAPABILITIES

Modern Access Control That Fits Your Environment

Transition from high-maintenance on-premises RADIUS servers to a resilient, cloud-native platform. We provide a unified authentication path that integrates directly with your existing IdP, MDM, and network equipment to deliver centralized security and NIST-compliant visibility.

Automate Campus-Wide Device Trust

With thousands of devices connecting daily across campus, universities need more than traditional logins. SecureW2 links certificates to device hardware for reliable identification across your main campus, remote research sites, and Eduroam networks—preventing credential sharing and unauthorized access.

Automate Role-Based Access
Automatically segment student, faculty, and staff access based on university role and device posture across campus networks.
Stop Credential Sharing
Device-bound certificates prevent password sharing and ensure one person, one device access across campus resources.

Resilient Campus Authentication

SecureW2 provides Higher Ed IT teams with a high-availability authentication path that survives semester turnovers and infrastructure shifts. Cloud RADIUS integrates with Dynamic PKI for automated certificate lifecycle management that eliminates manual maintenance.

Dependable Backup Authentication
Deploy Cloud RADIUS as a primary or supplemental authentication path to ensure campus Wi-Fi remains online even during local server outages.
Automated Certificate Lifecycle
Issue, renew, and revoke certificates automatically based on enrollment status and campus role changes.

Intelligent Risk Response & Compliance

Universities must maintain granular visibility to protect sensitive research and meet strict NIST SP 800-171 standards. Our platform does more than just authenticate; it continuously evaluates device posture by ingesting real-time signals from your environment.

Dynamic Remediation
Automatically isolate compromised or unmanaged devices into restricted VLANs to prevent lateral movement and protect institutional resources.
Verifiable Compliance Auditing
Generate detailed, audit-ready event logs that capture identity, device posture, and network location for every connection attempt.

Quick Setup and Works as Advertised

“SecureW2 just works – I don’t even think about it anymore as I know that it will work as expected. It integrates easily with Microsoft Entra and InTune. I definitely recommend this as a Cloud RADIUS and PKI solution.”

“Easy, cloud-based RADIUS and PKI for implementation of secure, certificate-based Wi-Fi networks.”

**Gartner Peer Insights Reviewer** IT Manager Software

“Since deploying the solution across our organization, our Wi-Fi related support requests have effectively dropped to zero.”

Modernize Your Campus Network

Secure Every Campus Connection with Cloud RADIUS

Cloud RADIUS integrates with your existing campus IdP, MDM, and network infrastructure — so you can deploy certificate-based authentication without rebuilding your stack.
