Identify Network Devices with Confidence

Digital certs give IT teams reliable device identification that passwords can't. Tie each cert to hardware so students can't spoof, share, or bypass filtering and access policies.

  • Trust-Based Segmentation
    Enforce the right policies automatically based on device ownership—keeping student and staff traffic separated by design.
  • End Credential Sharing
    Hardware-bound certs prevent filter evasion and ensure only the right users reach the right content.

Automate Network Safety For Any Learning Environment

Secure your learning environment with access policies that respond automatically. SecureW2 monitors devices and users continuously, adjusting access based on behavior and preventing risky connections.

  • Self-Enforcing Network Boundaries
    Keep student and staff networks properly segmented with automatic, policy-based controls.
  • Instant Threat Response
    Block unsafe devices and revoke access the moment behavior or risk status changes.
Display Icon

Simplify Access Control Across Your District

Manage network access for all students, staff, and guests from a single platform. SecureW2 applies your access policies automatically—no need to juggle multiple systems or manage VLANs manually.

  • Smart Role-Based Enforcement
    Set policies by role, device type, and location to ensure the right access for every user.
  • Use the Tools You Already Have
    Integrate with your identity provider and MDM to apply access controls without adding complexity.

K-12 Implementation Questions

Common questions from IT directors, superintendents, and network administrators about implementing SecureW2 in K–12 environments—from small rural districts to large urban systems.

How do schools securely onboard BYOD and unmanaged devices?

SecureW2 uses certificate-based authentication to apply access policies across all device types—whether managed or not. This includes Windows, macOS, iOS, Android, and ChromeOS devices, as well as shared-use carts. With no agents or MDM required, SecureW2 enables secure onboarding for BYOD while tying access to user identity and device context. This approach simplifies IT workload and eliminates the risks associated with MAC filtering, shared passwords, or manually maintained whitelists.

What's the best way to give staff and students access without using passwords?


SecureW2 eliminates credential-based logins entirely by issuing x.509 certificates tied to real-time identity. Users authenticate seamlessly without entering usernames or passwords, reducing phishing risk and login failures. Certificates are distributed automatically based on directory role and device type, ensuring the right access is granted without IT involvement. This passwordless model improves the user experience and helps districts reduce help desk tickets and credential-related downtime.

How can schools enforce network access rules automatically?

SecureW2 applies dynamic access policies at the network edge by combining Cloud RADIUS with real-time directory data. Policies are triggered by user role, device type, and risk posture—without relying on VLAN sprawl, NAC bloat, or manual rulesets. For example, staff on managed devices can receive full access, while students on BYOD get limited VLAN access. These decisions are made in real time using the latest identity data from your IDP or SIS.

What happens when a student graduates or a staff member leaves?

With SecureW2, access is revoked automatically as soon as a user's status changes in the directory. The platform monitors user lifecycle events—such as offboarding, unenrollment, or role changes—and invalidates certificates accordingly. This eliminates the need to manually deprovision credentials or revoke VLAN permissions. IT teams can ensure only current students and staff maintain access, minimizing security risk and audit scope.

Can schools use their existing IDP and SIS with SecureW2?

Yes. SecureW2 integrates directly with identity providers like Google Workspace, Azure Active Directory, ClassLink, and Clever, along with most student information systems (SIS). These integrations allow SecureW2 to dynamically assign access policies using group membership and user metadata. There's no need for middleware, custom scripts, or proprietary NAC platforms—just seamless, real-time policy enforcement using the tools you already have.

How does SecureW2 provide secure guest Wi-Fi access in K–12 environments?

SecureW2 provides secure guest Wi-Fi access through sponsor-approved workflows that allow staff to provision time-limited access for visitors—such as substitute teachers, contractors, or district partners. Guest users are assigned VLAN-isolated access and activity is logged in real time to ensure compliance. Certificates automatically expire at the end of the session, reducing risk without requiring PSKs, captive portals, or manual cleanup by IT.

Does SecureW2 support device onboarding across all major operating systems?

Yes. SecureW2 supports device onboarding across Windows, macOS, iOS, Android, and ChromeOS. Using the JoinNow MultiOS and API-based enrollment workflows, IT teams can automate certificate issuance for both personal and school-managed devices. This enables consistent policy enforcement across device types and user groups—whether students are using district-issued laptops, iPads, or their own smartphones.

Is SecureW2 a fit for wired 802.1X, eduroam, VPN, or IoT use cases?

Absolutely. SecureW2 supports a wide range of 802.1X-based access control use cases, including wired network ports, VPN clients, eduroam federation, and secure onboarding of IoT or printer devices. By issuing certificates and applying dynamic policies via Cloud RADIUS, SecureW2 gives K–12 districts a scalable way to manage all device types without separate NAC appliances or siloed VLAN policies.
