List,
My company is expanding fast and the more employees we bring on, the more
requests I field for folks to bring in their own devices (laptops, tablets,
etc.) to be used on our network. We have conference rooms with wide open
network jacks accessible to anyone. I am looking for solutions that will allow
me to secure my network and enforce policies (i.e. installed, approved
anti-virus and firewall software) and/or limit access to certain parts of the
network (i.e. for Wifi-enabled devices). I am aware of certain vendors'
offerings such as Cloudpath, Bradford Networks, and Aruba Networks, but I've
only scratched the surface.
I'm looking for feedback from the list on what solutions you have implemented
to enable BYOD while enforcing appropriate security policies to protect the
soft, squishy innards of your network. For guidance, my goals are as follows:
1. Preventing unauthorized devices from directly accessing the network.
2. Allowing for redirection of unauthorized devices to either a captive
portal for registration or limited/throttled Internet access (i.e. via a
separate VLAN).
3. Supporting Wi-Fi.
4. Reporting on BYOD utilization including the number and types of devices.
Thanks in advance for anything you can offer,
