Introduction:

After noticing a rise in the demand for a Cloud-Based Captive portal solution from our shared customers, Cloudi-Fi and HPE Aruba Networking have partnered to enable unmanaged users and devices to connect on the HPE Aruba Networking Wi-Fi access point! Unknown devices such as Guest, BYOD, and IoT can now be onboarded, authenticated, and identified using the Cloudi-Fi Zero Trust Cloud Captive Portal solution. This makes it easy for complex network admin teams to secure the Enterprise’s infrastructure last mile at scale.

A story of cloud transformation …

As the adoption of cloud services increases, Wi-Fi has evolved from a commodity to a crucial service, ensuring user connectivity and productivity.

The widespread use of Wi-Fi introduces risks. Unmanaged guests, BYOD, or IoT devices can potentially expose users and organizations to evolving threats like malware, ransomware, or phishing.

Reducing such risks calls for providing network access only to authorized users and devices, which necessitates securely onboarding unknown users and devices, identifying and profiling each device, and complying with data privacy and local regulations to ensure network security.
The Zero Trust security principles and framework can now be applied to distributed Wi-Fi network infrastructures. 

HPE Aruba Networking and Cloudi-Fi have collaborated to provide a scalable, flexible, and adaptive solution to improve network security for multi-site organizations, user productivity, and regulatory compliance.

Cloudi-Fi Cloud Captive portal solution offers a user-friendly admin interface for onboarding guests with BYOD and a seamless workflow for IoT devices.

Lastly, the Cloudi-Fi cloud captive portal solution complies with all local regulations and user data privacy laws, ensuring businesses can confidently operate globally.
With a single entry point, businesses can now keep their guest data secure and compliant with local regulations. You can request our compliance report here.
