Stay informed with expert insights, best practices, and the latest developments in network security, identity management, and SecureW2 product updates.
Over the past decade, we’ve helped hundreds of organizations around the world secure and set up WPA2-Enterprise networks. While WPA2-Enterprise remains the golden standard for 802.1x authentication, there are many pitfalls an organization can make when they set it up. ... Read More
Internet of Things (IoT) devices have been a rapidly growing industry trend that can provide invaluable and unique data to many organizations. While most devices are designed to maximize the efficiency of data distribution, they often leave security by the ... Read More
A requirement for all WPA2-Enterprise networks is the use of a RADIUS server. A vital part of the network, the function of a RADIUS is to authenticate the user and their device and authorize them for network access. The authentication ... Read More
Organizations should be aware of an important update to TLS. TLS 1.2 is the most recent update that builds on top of TLS 1.0 and TLS 1.1 to increase network security. Updating your browsers and OS to TLS 1.2 is ... Read More
Recently, cybercriminals have begun targeting public Certificate Authorities (CA) to obtain legitimate certificates and then sell them on the black market. Because these are verified and signed certificates obtained by unjust means, it can be exceedingly difficult to identify them. ... Read More
Yubikeys are an incredibly secure method of protecting yourself from data theft, but you’re probably not using them to their full potential. Natively, Yubikeys only support credential-based authentication through keypairs and one-time passwords. However, SecureW2 has developed an industry-first solution ... Read More
Many companies use Windows servers as the main component of their IT infrastructures. If those companies want to use digital certificates for their network, they set up a public key infrastructure (PKI). PKIs deploy and manage certificates, which can be ... Read More
It’s widely held knowledge that using a single factor for authentication to wireless networks is less than secure and easily exploited by hackers. According to IBM’s X-Force Threat Intelligence Index, 35% of exploitation activity involves Man-in-the-Middle Attacks which easily bypass ... Read More
Efficiency is the name of the game when operating a wireless network. Designing every facet of the network with the user experience in mind will result in a streamlined system that works well for all that require access. A wrench ... Read More
Public key cryptography, a synonym for asymmetric cryptography, is a clever cryptographic system that allows two parties to exchange encrypted information publicly without worry of interception. Many cryptographic systems are symmetric. Two or more parties share a private key, then ... Read More
Yubikeys represent an exciting opportunity to merge two features that are often at odds: security and convenience. Many organizations have purchased Yubikeys and distributed them to their employees for that extra layer of physical security. They’re commonly used to securely ... Read More
Security keys, also called hardware security keys, are a method of authentication that offers an additional layer of hardened security. They can be used to login to desktops, Wi-Fi, and be integrated into the sign-in process of many popular websites ... Read More
