Onboarding devices and securing the network are often at odds. What’s needed is a quick and easy method for those entering the network, but that isn’t always achievable following security best practices. Network complexity is rising, but no single source can easily address it. Complexity increases for a variety of reasons, such as:

• Work-from-anywhere initiatives that result in more bring-your-own-device (BYOD) items entering the network
• On-site guests
• IoT devices

IT teams must handle large volumes of different types of devices connecting to the network, which comes with a lot more exposure than they’d like. Getting all these devices safely onto the network is more challenging since they are not all the same.
