The mix of offices and BYOD has become the norm in enterprises, with employees using their own equipment to access WiFi on their way to office, home, or on business trips, with complex environments and a variety of devices. In this context, WiFi access security certifications are necessary both to ensure that identity is credible and adapted to diverse access scenarios, taking into account experience.
The challenge of mixed offices and Byods for identification
Mixed office means that employees are connected from multiple locations and with a variety of devices: office computers, personal notebooks at home, mobile telephone hot spots during travel. Byod means that many access equipment is owned by staff members, security baselines vary and management difficulties are great. For WiFi ' s access security certification, the challenge is to: have different types of equipment and be covered; have multiple identities and identity-related relationships; have remote and local access to one another, and have a uniform authentication strategy; do not manage personal equipment as much as office equipment and to be proportionate. These challenges determine how the identification of mixed office sites cannot be carried out in traditional offices.
Uniform identification: same identity wherever it is.
WiFi access to the security of the mixed office scene, provided that there is a uniform identity. Employees use the same identification system as an enterprise, regardless of the number and location they use, with the same authentication results and the same rights. The uniform identification requirements are connected to the company ' s account (domain account, micro-credit, unified identity platform) so that employees can do it using one set of identities. Even if the employee uses a computer in the office or a mobile phone at home, the certification is the same identity, management calibre does not appear."One employee has multiple identities, access is not right."The mess.
Equipment management and certification combined: identity control and equipment
The equipment of the staff is registered, tied to an account number and certified simultaneously; the quantity of equipment is controlled so as to prevent over-scaling of one account item from causing mismanagement; personal equipment access to core resources by type and ownership of the equipment is done; office equipment access to limited resources is possible."Trusted identity."and"Trusted equipment"Combining it to ensure safe access and to care for the use of personal equipment.
Authentication extension for remote access
The hybrid office is not just an inner-network WiFi access, but also remote access to business resources. The WiFi access security certification for remote access scenes is extended to VPN and zero trust: when employees are remotely connected, they use a single identity to complete authentication and make a credible assessment of the equipment; multiple factor authentication is used to ensure the strength of remote access; continuous validation can be introduced gradually, with access continuously monitoring the status of identities and devices and identifying abnormal dynamic adjustment privileges.
Landing recommendations: implementation in a step-by-step manner, taking into account experience
WiFi access security certification is recommended to move in step by step at the location of a mixed office and BYOD scene. First, it first provides a uniform identity certification for staff members to use the same identity on all sites; second, introduces equipment registration and management, binding identification and equipment; third, gradually extending the robust authentication and zero trust capabilities of remote access. In the process, attention must be paid to experience that personal equipment access processes are not too cumbersome or otherwise inconsistent with them; and, at the same time, the certification strategy should be reviewed regularly, with continuous optimization based on feedback from the use of employees.
