Guest Traffic Isolation Using Ignition Guest Tunneling

Abstract

Providing guest Wi-Fi access has become a must-have capability for companies in nearly every industry. Today, free Wi-Fi is ubiquitous in highly trafficked areas such as airports, coffee shops and hotels. However, guest Wi-Fi is not limited to retail environments; businesses in other sectors such as finance and healthcare also need to offer guest Wi-Fi to vendors and customers. However, these industries must ensure a high level of security and enforce company-specific acceptable use policies.

          Visitors, customers, business partners, suppliers, temporary workers and a variety of professionals who come into your office to do business now expect you to offer access to Internet. However, granting guests access poses security risks. If you allow access, they also connect to enterprise network. To avoid access to enterprise network and to provide only Internet access we can use Guest tunneling virtual appliance.
