Foxpass Cloud RADIUS Secures the Path to Passwordles
Robust wireless authentication is crucial as organizations combat escalating cyberthreats. Many IT teams have graduated from shared passwords on Wi-Fi networks to identity provider-based sign-on by integrating with Entra ID, Google Workspace, and Okta.
For Wi-Fi and VPN connections, Microsoft recommends moving from MSCHAPv2-based (password) connections to certificate-based authentication such as EAP-TLS.
Advancing one step further to certificate-based passwordless authentication via EAP-TLS can close security gaps. By mutually validating the user and network server, EAP-TLS prevents impersonation attacks. Further, passwordless methods increase convenience for end users.
Foxpass Cloud RADIUS provides an adjustable platform to navigate between legacy password-driven EAP-TTLS/PAP approaches and future-proof passwordless EAP-TLS, enabling organizations to phase their migration at their preferred pace.
Foxpass Cloud RADIUS facilitates smooth evolution to passwordless security:
- Enhanced Protection: Certificate-based authentication defeats many password attacks
- Simplified User Experience: Eliminates password fatigue and reset overhead
- Native Cloud Integration: Aligns with cloud-hosted identity management
- Flexible Transition Support: Enables gradual shift from passwords to passwordless
- Consistent Infrastructure Connectivity: Maintains seamless integration throughout migration
