CTS 284: Zero Trust Wi-Fi Access with Beyond Identity (Sponsored)




Clear To Send: Wireless Network Engineering show

Summary: <br> Wi-Fi security hasn’t changed much in many years. The most common security method is using a pre-shared key, one that hardly changes. Next, you have a more complex configuration using 802.1X with certificates.<br> <br> <br> <br> <a href="https://www.cleartosend.net/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/beyond-identity-logo.jpeg"></a><br> <br> <br> <br> But what if we could flip this model and think about it differently by leveraging the cloud? We could use passwordless multi-factor authentication that verifies users and their devices. This can be implemented with today’s devices using a trusted module platform (TPM).<br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> Our sponsor, <a href="https://www.beyondidentity.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Beyond Identity</a>, is helping organizations implement this security model and making 802.1X over Wi-Fi easier. In this episode, our guests Ashish Bhatia and Ashwin Rana discuss the challenges of today’s Wi-Fi security and dive into the Beyond Identity architecture and authenticator.<br> <br> <br> <br> We’ll discuss what the implementation looks like and how users and their devices are authenticated and postured for the Wi-Fi network and for application access.<br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <a href="https://www.cleartosend.net/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/beyond-identity-authenticator-1.png"></a><br> <br> <br> <br> <a href="https://www.cleartosend.net/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/beyond-identity-authenticator.png"></a><br> <br> <br> <br> <a href="https://www.cleartosend.net/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/beyond-identity-authenticator-2.png"></a><br> <br> <br> <br> <a href="https://www.cleartosend.net/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/beyond-identity-authenticator-3.png"></a><br> <br> <br> <br> <br> Resources<br> <br> <br> <br> <a href="https://www.beyondidentity.com/">Beyond Identity</a><br> <br> <br> <br> <a href="https://www.youtube.com/user/bhatsy06">Ashish Bhatia on YouTube</a><br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> Photo by FLY:D on Unsplash<br>
