Power Up Your Guest Wi-Fi Network Security
Protect your guest Wi-Fi in minutes with a 100% cloud native service.
The Problem
A great guest Wi-Fi experience is a chance to elevate perceptions of your organization or brand, but it can backfire if it puts your users or guests at risk.
And if users perform illegal downloads or access sensitive data, or your employees use it to bypass your main network's security, it can expose your organization to legal action, compliance issues, and data leaks.
Traditionally, your security options have been limited. You could backhaul traffic across your WAN or deploy appliances at every site, but both are slow and costly. You could deploy a separate broadband connection, but that would leave your guests unsecured.

FAQ
Wi-Fi networks are not inherently secure, which can put both users and your organization at risk of unauthorized access, data loss, malware, and more. If users conduct illegal activities such as content piracy, the host organization can be held accountable. It's essential to protect guest Wi-Fi networks with security measures such as strong encryption, authentication, and segmentation.
The Zero Trust Exchange platform automatically blocks malicious websites and can prevent access to harmful or illegal content. By directing DNS queries through the platform, you can prevent users from accessing phishing sites, malware domains, and other security threats. Using DNS over HTTPS (DoH) or DNS over TLS (DoT) can also encrypt DNS queries to protect them in transit.
