Overview

With remote/hybrid work now the reality for organizations of all sizes, securing modern networks has become a significant challenge. Traditional network security solutions, such as VPNs and password-based authentication, are no longer sufficient to protect against the sophisticated cyber threats and the complexities of managing users distributed around the globe.

SecureW2 offers a truly unique network security solution that addresses these challenges head-on. A Zero Trust security company offering certificate-based authentication (CBA) that makes passwordless authentication easier for both end users and IT administrators, SecureW2 provides a cloud-native solution for enterprises, educational institutions, SMBs, and MSPs to keep up with modern security challenges without compromising the quality of the user experience.

By leveraging digital certificates and a cloud-based Public Key Infrastructure (PKI), SecureW2 automates the authorization of access to Wi-Fi, applications, and desktop logins, enabling secure remote work from anywhere without the need for a traditional VPN. This approach bundles cloud RADIUS, PKI, and network configuration software into a comprehensive solution and eliminates the security gaps created by patching together point solutions. Unlike traditional credential-based authentication—the biggest source of data breaches (1) — SecureW2’s certificate-based system provides broader and deeper authentication context without using credentials that can be easily stolen or misused. Using SecureW2 gives IT teams visibility into and management over user identities, device ownership, device types, authorization history, user roles, and access conditions, which improves security, makes compliance easier, and delivers a premium user experience.

- 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.
- Multi-OS support for BYOD: Ensures secure, certificate-based network access across all user devices running iOS, Windows, macOS, Android, ChromeOS, Linux, and Kindle.
- Granular access control: Provides broader and deeper context into user identities, device ownership, device types, authorization history, user roles, and access conditions, enabling more effective risk management.
- Scalability, reliability, and cost-efficiency: Offers improved scalability, reliability, and cost-efficiency compared to traditional on-premises network security solutions, reducing the need for in-house security teams and infrastructure. It also eliminates all risks associated with stolen, misplaced, or misused credentials.


SecureW2's innovative approach to network security, coupled with its comprehensive features and Zero Trust philosophy, makes it the standout choice for organizations seeking a secure, scalable, and cost-effective network security solution.


How we are different

- SecureW2 offers the only comprehensive Zero Trust network security solution designed specifically for the challenges of securing remote work environments, unlike legacy solutions built on outdated perimeter-based defenses and password-based authentication that are ill-equipped to handle today's distributed workforce amid rising cyber threats.
- It delivers a truly passwordless approach by eliminating the need for traditional VPNs, passwords, and on-premises authentication servers, reducing attack vectors and administrative overhead associated with password management and VPN maintenance.
- Unlike more narrowly-focused competitors, SecureW2 provides unprecedented granular access control and visibility into user and device context far beyond just usernames and passwords, including identities, device ownership, types, authorization history, user roles, and conditional access policies, enabling more effective continuous risk assessment and adaptive security unavailable in traditional network security products. It also eliminates the need for a private PKI that requires in-house expertise and budget to spin up and maintain.
