RADIUS + Dynamic PKI: Better Together

With many devices attempting to connect to the network, identifying potential risks from compromised devices becomes paramount. This is where a robust Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) integrated with RADIUS comes into play, providing continuous security validation rather than relying on outdated, static measures.

Cloud RADIUS Addressing Security Gaps:

Static security protocols can leave networks vulnerable even with RADIUS and PKI in place. Devices enrolled with certificates may not necessarily remain trustworthy. This calls for a dynamic approach, which SecureW2 offers by integrating its JoinNow PKI with Cloud RADIUS. This solution enables constant network vigilance, ensuring real-time monitoring and enhanced device authentication.

Dynamic PKI Mitigating Risks

Cloud RADIUS efficiently minimizes risk by evaluating device trust and certificate authenticity. Working with Dynamic PKI, it’ll be able to assist in ensuring the process of not only certificate enrollment is performed, but renewal whenever a device presents a certificate that is nearing expiration, and revocation when a risky device attempts to connect to the network. For example, here are two different scenarios where the Cloud RADIUS and PKI work together to intuitively perform actions of renewal and rejection starting with renewal.

Having Cloud RADIUS report the lifetime of the certificate is extremely helpful for providing a hands-off experience of access continuance that doesn’t require admin intervention. However, anything can happen with a user connecting to the network, and Dynamic PKI won’t renew or enroll any risky devices, let alone the Cloud RADIUS granting access. Using security integration to help assess device health and produce Risk Scores aids the Cloud RADIUS server in determining whether or not to grant network access, quarantine potentially harmful devices, or automatically revoke certificates based on dynamic assessments, ensuring that expired or risky certificates are swiftly eliminated from circulation.

Dynamic PKI + RADIUS working together

Integrating your IDP with SecureW2 enhances security by dynamically managing certificates, accommodating user or device status changes through Dynamic SCEP. This continuous alignment between the PKI and IDP ensures that only active users gain network privileges, reducing the need for constant admin supervision.

Increased Visibility and Control:

SecureW2 strengthens your security posture and improves network visibility. Through SecureW2’s features, administrators can optimize their security infrastructure by being informed in real-time and utilizing device data to segment the network.

• Real-Time Intelligence: Event Logs within SIEMs enable administrators to react swiftly and proactively.

• Network Policy and Data Enrichment: SecureW2 prevents the spread of threats and protects sensitive areas of your network by intelligently segmenting network traffic via VLANs.
