SecureW2 Cloud NAC is a cloud network access control service that uses certificate-based 802.1X authentication and identity-provider policies to manage network access for trusted users and devices. Cloud RADIUS supports passwordless EAP-TLS access over Wi-Fi, wired networks, and VPNs. Administrators can apply role-, policy-, and attribute-based rules, including VLAN segmentation that can change at runtime. For BYOD and guest workflows, the service offers certificate enrollment, WebAuth captive portals, and self-service or sponsored access. MAC-based authentication and filtering provide an option for IoT and legacy devices that cannot use 802.1X. Certificate enrollment, renewal, and revocation can be automated through APIs and protocols including ACME, SCEP, JSON, WSTEP, and EST. SecureW2 says its PKI and RADIUS controls do not require a persistently active endpoint agent. It lists integrations across identity, security, networking, and device management, and supports unmanaged-device onboarding for systems including iOS, macOS, Windows, Android, Chrome, Linux, and Kindle Fire. Pricing is available by request.
