How does it work?
You can better protect your staff and students’ data through your school being less vulnerable to security breaches and online threats. Compared to a single flat network, the segmented network capability limits the impact of any potential future security breaches – for example, an issue can be contained within a guest network without impacting staff or students.
A great benefit of Secure Access is that each student and staff member has a unique login. This means administrators can identify who is using the network. It gives you control over who has access to your network and who doesn’t. Secure Access extends this by authenticating and authorising each device. Once a device is known to the network, it remembers the login details, so users don’t need to log in every time they connect to the network.
