CONTINUOUS TRUST FOR BYOD
High-Assurance RADIUS Authentication for Every Device
Bridge the gap between unmanaged devices and your existing identity provider. Use SAML-based onboarding to provision non-exportable certificates, ensuring every personal device is identified and secured before it touches your network.
Teams Use Cloud RADIUS for BYOD Access
Authenticate personal devices securely without shared passwords or manual provisioning.
BEFORE VS AFTER
Unmanaged Device Access Doesn’t Have to Be a Liability
Open networks and misconfigured 802.1X leave you exposed to lateral threats like AirSnitch. Our EAP-TLS architecture secures BYODs, guests, and contractors — no manual setup required.
| Problem | Shared PSK / Open SSID | After Cloud RADIUS |
|---|---|---|
| Lateral Security | Shared passwords allow threats to spread laterally. | Isolated access through unique device certificates. |
| User Onboarding | IT manually configures every 802.1X setting. | Self-service enrollment in under a minute. |
| Credential Theft | Static PSKs are easily stolen or shared. | Cryptographically locked, non-transferable identities. |
| Network Control | All BYODs sit on a single, flat network. | Dynamic VLAN segmentation based on user role. |
Operational Benefits
Eliminate the Hassle of Manual BYOD Onboarding
Shared passwords and misconfigured 802.1X are risks you can’t afford. Our self-service platform automates EAP-TLS configuration, protecting your network from lateral threats without manual IT intervention.
Support-free enrollment
Users secure their own devices through a guided onboarding flow — no IT intervention required.
Ticket-volume reduction
Cut Wi-Fi help desk tickets by 20% by automating 802.1X and eliminating password failures.
Credential hygiene
Auto-expiring certificates ensure inactive devices don’t linger as security risks.
Organizational scaling
Onboard hundreds of unmanaged devices in minutes without scaling IT staffing.
How It Works
Proven Workflows for Support-Free BYOD Onboarding
Thousands of organizations have eliminated manual 802.1X configuration with our self-service enrollment process. JoinNow MultiOS detects user operating systems and provisions secure, non-exportable certificates in minutes, reducing Wi-Fi tickets by 20%.
Universities with 10,000+ students and a massive variety of personal devices need to eliminate move-in day “Wi-Fi riots” and credential harvesting attacks.
STEP 1
Identity Handshake
Student logs into the onboarding SSID via SAML (Entra ID/Google).
STEP 2
OS-Aware Delivery
SecureW2 auto-detects the device (iOS, Android, macOS) and serves the JoinNow MultiOS client.
STEP 3
One-Time Enrollment
A non-exportable certificate is cryptographically locked to the device.
STEP 4
Automatic Connection
Student is transitioned to the secure "Eduroam" or Campus SSID.
Corporate environments need to let contractors or partners onto the network without giving them managed laptops — while preventing lateral threat movement.
STEP 1
Identity Verification
Contractor uses their own company-created credentials to authenticate to the company IDP.
STEP 2
Posture Check
The JoinNow client verifies the contractor's credentials and role information in the IDP.
STEP 3
Identity-Linked Certificate
A certificate is issued, tying the device to the contractor's specific identity.
STEP 4
Isolated Segmentation
Cloud RADIUS assigns the device to a restricted "Contractor VLAN" with no access to the corporate core.
Hospitals and retail HQ where specialized personal devices need secure, reliable access — eliminating fragile connections and the 20% “Wi-Fi ticket” burden.
STEP 1
Zero-Touch Auth
Staff authenticates once; no passwords needed thereafter.
STEP 2
Persistent Connectivity
Certificates ensure the device stays connected as staff move between floors or locations.
STEP 3
Automated Revocation
If a staff member leaves, the certificate is automatically revoked via the Identity Provider sync.
STEP 4
Always-On Security
High-availability RADIUS (99.999% uptime) ensures authentication rarely goes down.
