The Cisco Guest Access solution, as part of the Cisco Unified Wireless Network, helps mitigate network security risks, while extending the appropriate level of network access to visitors. Most organizations today have an ecosystem of partners, vendors, and contractors in their day-to-day business processes. Guest users can be classified as any non-employee or otherwise unauthorized internal network user requiring network connectivity. Most commonly, these users require only the ability to access the public internet and/or VPN connectivity. In certain instances, however, mobile visitors perform critical business functions and require precise, locked-down access to internal network resources. With Cisco Guest Access, network privileges are customizable for any guest user access requirement.
