Cloud RADIUS for K-12 Schools

Automatically Keep Students off the Staff Network

Cloud RADIUS integrates directly with your infrastructure, such as Google, to push certificates to every Chromebook in your district. The correct access is applied to students and staff automatically without the need for vulnerable Wi-Fi passwords.

CLOUD RADIUS FOR K-12

Cloud RADIUS for Real-World K-12 Environments

From 1:1 Chromebook programs to multi-site district management, Cloud RADIUS simplifies school network security without adding IT complexity and keeps students off the staff network.

1:1 Chromebook & iPad Programs

Automate zero-touch certificate enrollment for district-issued devices through native Google Workspace and Jamf API integrations.

Chromebook iPad 1:1

1:1 rollouts require manual touch for every device, creating inconsistent security and deployment bottlenecks.

Managed Device Gateway APIs silently push unique X.509 certificates to every device without user or IT interaction.

Districts achieve 100% device visibility and 802.1X security from day one, with devices protected as soon as they’re unboxed.

Seamless Student & Faculty BYOD

Secure student and faculty BYOD by enforcing time-based access and group-specific network access policies through easy-to-use onboarding clients.

CIPA E-Rate

BYOD is often all-or-nothing: one shared password grants unmonitored access to any personal device.

JoinNow MultiOS issues unique certificates, letting Cloud RADIUS enforce group and time-based policies.

Personal devices only connect when and where authorized, keeping the faculty network protected.

Cloud Identity Integration

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

Segmentation Role-Based

IoT devices like cameras and smart boards use static, shared passwords, creating entry points for lateral movement.

SecureW2 automates MAC-based auth to identify and isolate headless hardware.

Devices without a user interface are held to Zero Trust standards, closing gaps in the perimeter.

Dynamically Segment Staff, Students and Guests

Automate VLAN assignment for staff, students, and guests based on real-time user or device status within Google, Entra ID, Jamf, Mosyle, and more.

Multi-Site Centralized

Static network rules don’t adapt when a user’s role or device status changes, requiring constant manual updates.

Cloud RADIUS checks your IDP, MDM, or security infrastructure during authentication to segment users automatically.

Students only access educational resources while staff and administrative data stays isolated automatically.

CIPA & Student Data Privacy

Meet CIPA and cybersecurity insurance requirements by implementing phishing-resistant authentication and keeping students off the staff network.

BYOD Guest Access

Schools rely on passwords that are easily shared or phished, putting student records and CIPA compliance at risk.

Certificate-based authentication eliminates credential theft and provides the encrypted foundation for modern privacy mandates.

Schools satisfy insurance audits and federal privacy standards while keeping student data inaccessible to unauthorized users.

Automated Network Access Control

Gain granular visibility into every device on the network by mapping 802.1X authentication events to specific user and machine identities.

Google Workspace SIS

IT teams can’t identify who is on the network, relying on vague MAC addresses and anonymous logs.

Certificate-driven 802.1X links every connection to a verified user and device.

IT can quickly troubleshoot issues and audit network usage with high-fidelity identity data.

PLATFORM CAPABILITIES

Educational Technology Security as Unique as Your School

SecureW2 integrates with your school’s Google Workspace, Active Directory, and student information systems to deliver certificate-based authentication and age-appropriate access policies. Whether it’s Chromebooks or BYOD devices, the JoinNow Platform adapts to your educational workflows while protecting student privacy.

Identify Network Devices with Confidence

The SecureW2 platform creates a unified security fabric by linking network access directly to your directory. Cloud RADIUS combines hardware-backed certificate authentication with real-time user and device validation that ensures that access is never static; it is a continuous reflection of the user’s current standing within your district.

Trust-Based Segmentation
Automatically isolate devices and grant appropriate network access based on verified digital identity and compliance status.
End Credential Sharing
Replace shared passwords with unique device certificates that cannot be copied or shared between users or devices.

Identify Network Devices with Confidence

Continuous Trust Evaluation

Deploy intelligent, automated policy responses that protect your network from threats while maintaining seamless access for legitimate educational activities. Continuous monitoring and instant enforcement mean your network security adapts in real-time to changing conditions and emerging threats.

Self-Enforcing Network Boundaries
Dynamic network segmentation that automatically adjusts based on device trust level, user role, and security posture.
Instant Threat Response
Automated certificate revocation and network isolation when threats are detected, with immediate restoration once resolved.

Automated Access Control from Onboarding to Graduation

Eliminate the manual burden of managing network permissions. By leveraging Identity Lookup, SecureW2 automates the entire user lifecycle. When a student’s status changes or a staff member leaves the district, their network access is revoked instantly via your IdP. You no longer need to manually manage CRLs or search for “zombie” certificates—the system maintains your security posture for you.

Smart Role-Based Policy Enforcement
Automatically apply appropriate access policies based on user roles, device types, and educational contexts across your entire district.
Use the Tools You Already Have
Integrate seamlessly with Google Admin Console, Active Directory, student information systems, and your existing network infrastructure.

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.”
