Enterprise Security#

Enterprise Security provides the capability to the Wi-Fi devices to connect to enterprise Wi-Fi networks with WPA and WPA2 security that leverage the IEEE 802.1x authentication mechanism using Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP). EAP is used with an authentication server, which provides strong mutual authentication between the client and the wireless network via the access point.

Enterprise security mode is best suited for businesses and organizations with multiple Wi-Fi clients. Enterprise security mode provides better safety and security compared to the Personal or Pre-Shared Key (PSK) security mode. Securing the Network has three chief aims to,

  1. prevent unauthorized access to network resources.

  2. detect and stop cyberattacks and security breaches in progress,

  3. ensure that authorized users have secure access to the network resources when they need them.
