A global insurance company needed to identify, authenticate, and secure Guest, Bring Your Own Device (BYOD), and corporate Internet of Things (IoT) devices connecting to its network across all of its agencies and office campuses worldwide.
Problem
As the number of unmanaged connected devices grew, the firm faced untrusted IoT devices proliferating across more than 3,000 locations, along with the challenge of identifying and authenticating those devices and managing a legacy solution that required additional hardware at each site. Unplanned visitors, time-limited consultants, and smart-office connected objects such as printers, screens, cameras, and sensors all needed to be onboarded and controlled without adding hardware at every site.
How Cloudi-Fi fits
Cloudi-Fi's SaaS authentication platform integrates directly with Orange Livebox Business, eliminating the need for additional on-site hardware and offering a 100% cloud-based, Zero Trust Wi-Fi framework and authentication solution. With compliance spanning 100+ countries, Cloudi-Fi helps organizations meet legal and technical compliance requirements through localized captive portals and comprehensive authentication logs. The platform also integrates with Zscaler's cloud-based solutions for additional security controls, while supporting automated device onboarding based on user identity and device type, giving the firm centralized inventory management and control over untrusted device behavior and traffic.
Outcome
- All users and devices identified and authenticated through one admin platform
- Native integration with Orange Livebox Business and Zscaler
- Scalable identification and authentication platform across 3,000+ locations
- Profiling and security policy applied to all untrusted devices
- Zero Trust Wi-Fi framework delivered consistently across every location
- Simplified network management, reducing reliance on on-site hardware
