Wireless LAN Roaming lets IT administrators centrally manage and enforce all remote-access policies and all personal firewall, anti-virus and VPN capabilities, ensuring that all campus Wi-Fi network users are secured. The service also interoperates with the Endpoint Policy Management™ service to inspect and patch noncomplaint security software before allowing a connection. Operating system patches, anti-virus definition files and other important security updates can be pushed to end-user computers, further securing the corporate network.
Wireless LAN Roaming simplifies deployment because it supports the leading wireless network adapters and access points, as well as best-of-breed enterprise security solutions already in place. And since Wireless LAN Roaming is integrated with the iPassConnect service interface, it can be delivered to existing iPass customers with a simple configuration or customization change, a software push, to the supporting connection directory to add approved corporate Wi-Fi access points. IT administrators can also mask network changes or changes in authentication methods from end users.
