Employee Access
Users carry your enterprise in their pocket. They use their smartphones and tablets to access the corporate network, business applications, and your organization’s crown jewels: your enterprise data. That’s risky. What if they log into your network over an insecure network? Or lose their device? Or download next year’s strategic plan … and then leave the company? What’s required is a mobile device manager that is also secure.

Why do I need to manage wireless devices?
For many years businesses have been implementing wireless technology, some of these implementations have been merely around putting in an individual wireless device or access point to cater for guest access and some corporate access whilst other implementations have been around implementing a single controllable wireless solution throughout a LAN / WAN.
We have seen a shift recently with access points now including hardware encryption modules, large amounts of memory and even multi-core CPUs, in fact the access points have become powerful enough to function as a management platform and an access point at the same time which has led to clustered access points that are quickly deployable but nonetheless secure and resilient ensuring that smaller deployments become cost effective and easier to manage whilst larger deployments can take advantage of faster hardware and advantages of a controller based solution.
