Achieving Business Goals and Enhancing Customer Relationships With a Secure Guest Access Wi-Fi Network

Category: Security, Networking and Communications

Overview Many enterprises are interested in providing access to the Internet for their partners, vendors, consultants, or other visitors while maintaining security of their own wireless and wired networks. Assisting visitors with access to IT resources while they are on the premises can have many benefits. For some enterprises, providing access to IT resources is a simple extension of hospitality to visitors - an assumed service, much like providing coffee. For other enterprises, providing guest access is crucial to business goals and improving the bottom line. It is critical to maintain the security of the enterprise as guest networks are implemented. This paper explains why wireless LANs are the best way to enable guest network and describes how to enable guest networks without compromising internal security.
