Overview
In 2024, 93% of businesses still rely on passwords to protect sensitive data (1), despite the fact they’re the biggest cause of data breaches (2) and they’re a pain to manage (3) for users and IT admins alike.
Ten years ago, SecureW2 was founded to build a next-generation passwordless security platform with the user in mind. For companies looking to implement a frictionless Zero Trust security posture that eliminates the risks of credential-based authentication, SecureW2 offers a complete platform for passwordless security. It delivers the industry’s first cloud-native solution for enterprises, educational institutions, SMBs, and MSPs seeking to power network security via Azure AD, Okta, and Google through passwordless authentication.
Leveraging digital certificates, SecureW2 automates the authorization of access to Wi-Fi, applications, and desktop logins, enabling remote work from anywhere without the need for a traditional VPN. SecureW2 eliminates the network as an attack surface by bundling cloud RADIUS, Public Key Infrastructure (PKI), and network configuration software into a 100% passwordless experience, requiring no reliance on LDAP/AD or pre-shared keys.
Unlike traditional credential-based authentication, SecureW2’s certificate-based system provides broader and deeper context, allowing visibility into and management over user identities, device ownership, device types, authorization history, user roles, and access conditions.
After ten years of sustained growth, SecureW2 closed its first funding round for $80M in October of 2023, using the investment to meet global market demand and enhance its passwordless, Zero Trust platform.

Key Capabilities / Features
- Cloud-managed PKI service: Allows organizations to create certificates for various purposes, including network authentication, secure email, desktop logins, code signing, smart cards/YubiKeys, and application access.
- Cloud RADIUS server: Eliminates the need for an on-premises RADIUS server, supporting passwordless authentication using existing network infrastructure, enhancing security, and centralizing authentication services.
- Streamlined certificate deployment: Enables auto-enrollment of devices without user intervention and easy integration with cloud identity providers, securing networks and applications without replicating directories or adding friction to the UX.
- Multi-OS support for BYOD: Ensures secure, passwordless network access across all user devices running iOS, Windows, macOS, Android, ChromeOS, Linux, and Kindle.
- Zero Trust security approach: Rooted in a deep understanding of the challenges organizations face in securing remote work, setting new industry standards for secure remote work. Eliminating the need for a patchwork of point solutions, SecureW2 bundles cloud RADIUS, PKI, and network configuration software.
- Cloud-native solution: Designed for enterprises, higher education and K-12 organizations, SMBs, and MSPs seeking to power network security via Azure AD, Okta, and Google through passwordless authentication.
- Automated access authorization: Automates the authorization of access to Wi-Fi, applications, and desktop logins, enabling remote work from anywhere without the need for a traditional VPN.
SecureW2 is a complete passwordless network security platform powered by a cloud PKI that spans Wi-Fi, VPN, apps, and more, and fully eliminates the need for passwords entirely.
How we are different
- SecureW2 offers the first fully managed, scalable PKI service for passwordless authentication, secure email, desktop logins, code signing, smart cards/YubiKeys, and application access. A managed PKI service that requires no forklift upgrades, SecureW2 is designed to integrate easily into existing architecture, powering Zero Trust initiatives via X.509 certificates.
- It eliminates the cost and complexity associated with on-premises PKI solutions, offering improved passwordless authentication, scalability, reliability, and cost-efficiency. Instead of being bound to aging on-premise infrastructure that requires complicated integrations and introduces security holes, SecureW2 users can leverage a fully cloud-based PKI and RADIUS server using JoinNow Connector PKI and JoinNow Cloud RADIUS and eliminate the need for on-prem servers. JoinNow Cloud RADIUS is the only cloud-based solution that doesn’t rely on legacy protocols that leave organizations at risk for credential theft and prevent a fully passwordless experience.
- SecureW2 streamlines the deployment of digital certificates, enabling auto-enrollment of devices without user intervention and easy integration with cloud identity providers, like Azure AD or Okta. It’s single-pane UI provides centralized and intuitive passwordless security that integrates with virtually every device management system and BYOD device ecosystems.
