These markets have been addressed by many different companies, but one of the main faces of WiFi services is Cisco. Cisco made it\u2019s name with large routers for government and service providers, but <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.zdnet.com\/article\/cisco-buys-meraki-for-1-2-billion-5-reasons-the-deal-makes-sense\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">with the purchase of Meraki<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> they are making a strong play for smaller markets like personal to mid-sized business routers. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Good WiFi security for endpoints is not as common as you might think. One frequently seen approach is a shared passphrase that grants access to your network. While this may be easy to implement, it is difficult to maintain. When employees are offboarded this passphrase should be updated each time to ensure that no one has access that shouldn\u2019t. This is a hassle for both IT and the end users. Even worse, it isn\u2019t highly secure. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Better Wireless Network Security with RADIUS<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/SecureWiFiRADIUS.png\" alt=\"WiFi Security\" class=\"wp-image-6459\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The most common way to significantly step up your WiFi network security is with a <a href=\"https:\/\/jumpcloud.com\/blog\/what-is-the-radius-protocol\">RADIUS server<\/a>. This is a popular approach (see <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/community.aerohive.com\/aerohive\/topics\/why_would_i_want_to_set_up_my_wifi_network_with_a_radius_server\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">this forum post<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">) and there are the many benefits to implementing a RADIUS server:<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Improving the reporting and tracking based on client usernames.<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Allowing the ability to direct groups to a specific user profile with different restrictions.<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Having sessions with the Internet be uniquely encrypted between the user and WAP. This prevents users on the same SSID from spying on the connection due to their unique encryption key.<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Easy de-authorization of users by allowing the ability to revoke a person\u2019s access without needing all other users to re-join with a different access key.<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Assigning permissions like firewall policies, VLAN, QoS settings, etc.<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Having user profiles dynamically be assigned to users from their identity.<\/span><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Hosted FreeRADIUS Solution<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Freeradius_logo.svg_.png\" alt=\"FreeRADIUS\" class=\"wp-image-5965\" width=\"780\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Connecting to a RADIUS server is not a new idea. This has traditionally been done through the <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/freeradius.org\/enterprise-wifi.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">FreeRADIUS tool<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, which has become one of the most popular RADIUS servers. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With FreeRADIUS, encryption keys get provisioned uniquely for each user each session. Users just need to authenticate with their credentials, and they are given a key to communicate with. Then they must authenticate the network before providing these credentials to ensure that the network is real. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This process increases network security significantly. However, it does still come with difficulties for IT admins, in the form of integrating and maintaining the servers in your system. Additionally, it is another location of user identities that needs to be managed. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is where <a href=\"https:\/\/jumpcloud.com\/platform\/cloud-radius\">JumpCloud\u2019s RADIUS-as-a-Service<\/a> can help. With our cloud-based directory\u2019s managed IT services, you can have all of the benefits of a FreeRADIUS server without all of technical hassles. Essentially, it amounts to hosted FreeRADIUS. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cisco Meraki and RADIUS-as-a-Service<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Hosted-RADIUS.jpg\" alt=\"Hosted RADIUS\" class=\"wp-image-5762\" width=\"780\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">JumpCloud\u2019s RADIUS-as-a-Service is able to make the security benefits from FreeRADIUS easy to acquire. When combined with Cisco Meraki\u2019s WAPs that are optimized to integrate with RADIUS, you can have quick access to strong network security. Plus, when the RADIUS server is connected to the cloud directory service, all of the user credentials can be checked by the directory server centralizing the process. <\/span>Learn more about <a href=\"https:\/\/jumpcloud.com\/blog\/integrating-cisco-meraki-with-jumpclouds-radius-as-a-service\">Meraki network access control<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">RADIUS-as-a-Service has FreeRADIUS embedded into its infrastructure, allowing IT admins to only need to direct their WiFi access points (WAPs) to the FreeRADIUS server in the cloud. An added bonus is that the unified cloud directory <\/span><a href=\"\/platform\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">houses all of the user identities<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, so end users can employ their already established credentials to connect to the network.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Get Started<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Employing JumpCloud\u2019s RADIUS management server simplifies the whole process by having us do all of the heavy lifting.
