Cloudpath from Ruckus

Cloudpath is a security and policy management platform that enables IT organizations to protect their network by efficiently and definitively securing users.

Cloudpath Enrollment System (ES) software is a security and policy management platform that enables an IT organization to protect the network by efficiently and definitively securing users and their wired and wireless devices—while freeing those users and IT from the tyranny of passwords.

Available cloud-managed or as a virtual instance and priced per user, Cloudpath software lets IT do with one system what usually requires many, while quickly and automatically integrating with existing access and network security infrastructure.

Put passwords in your rear-view mirror.

Cloudpath ES software includes a built-in, comprehensive Certificate Authority (CA) that enables an IT department to create and manage its own Public Key Infrastructure (PKI). Protect your organization with PKI, the gold standard in wireless security: WPA-2 Enterprise via X.509 certificates. Passwords are just a memory.

Network access control: it’s a must

Certificates are one part of the Cloudpath security equation. Policy-based access control is the other. Cloudpath ES software lets IT associate each device with a user; then establish fine-grained policies for both. The software works together with policy enforcement points to make unauthorized access and persistent bad behavior a thing of the past.

Now, about those BYOD devices.

Just getting devices securely onto the network is half the battle for IT; BYOD adds more time and complexity. What if users—even bring your device (BYOD) users—could self-on-board any and all of their devices? With the simple onboarding portal in Cloudpath ES, they can. IT can control the types of devices that are allowed access and ensure the requisite on-device enforcement, all while seeing a dramatic reduction in service and trouble tickets.

The missing link: guest access

You’ve secured owned and BYOD devices but what about guests and their devices? Cloudpath software includes comprehensive guest access functionality that secures guest devices just as quickly and thoroughly as the rest while providing abundant authentication options. And Cloudpath software is infrastructure-agnostic, so no matter the environment, you can treat all of your guests the same—or differently.
