Secure and Effortless WiFi Authentication with Google Workspace
Imagine you can link your wireless network in a few clicks with one of the most secure and widely used cloud-based platforms in the world, Google Workspace. We seamlessly integrate Google Workspace with different WiFi vendors that support unique/private pre-shared keys.
Using private pre-shared keys (PSKs) in combination with Google Workspace credentials can provide a powerful and secure solution for wireless networks. By linking a PSK to Google Workspace credentials, network administrators can ensure that only authorized users can access the network. Also, all the wireless communications are encrypted.
One of the key advantages of using this method is the ability to assign different rights and privileges based on Google user groups. For example, network administrators can assign different network access to different departments or teams within an organization, allowing for granular control over network access.
Another advantage is the automatic deletion of PSKs when a user is deleted from Google Workspace. This ensures that unauthorized users cannot continue to access the network even after their credentials have been revoked.
Additionally, by using Google Workspace credentials to retrieve the PSK, users can use the same credentials they use to access other Google Workspace. Simplifying the login process and reducing the number of usernames and passwords that users need to remember.
In conclusion, by linking private pre-shared keys to Google Workspace credentials, network administrators can greatly improve the security and management of wireless networks. This method allows for granular control over network access, automatic deletion of PSKs when a user is deleted, and simplification of the login process.
We have an integration with the following WiFi vendors: Extreme Networks, Juniper Mist, Ruckus Networks, Zyxel Nebula, Cisco Meraki and Cambium.
Advantages of Private Pre-shared keys
- Increased security: One of the main benefits of private pre-shared keys is that they provide a higher level of security than most other authentication methods. A private PSK is a shared secret between the wireless access point and the connecting device, and is used to encrypt all wireless communications. This makes it much more difficult for unauthorized users to intercept and decrypt wireless communications.
- Easy to implement: Private pre-shared keys are easy to implement and can be set up quickly, making it a cost-effective and efficient solution for securing wireless networks.
- Flexibility: Private pre-shared keys can be used in combination with other security measures, such as firewalls, VPNs, and intrusion detection systems, to provide an additional layer of security.
- Simplicity: Private pre-shared keys are simple to use, and do not require additional hardware or software. This makes it easy for users to connect to the wireless network.
- Scalability: Private pre-shared keys can be easily scaled to accommodate the changing needs of a network. As new devices are added to the network, the private PSK can be easily updated to include the new devices.
