As a result, IT managers are being challenged to provide convenient internet access to guests on the existing wireless and/or wired infrastructure, without daily involvement of IT staff or compromising the security and performance of the enterprise network.

Bluesocket's Guest Access Services allow IT managers to provide easy to use, controlled, secure and traceable internet access for both wired and wireless guests.

Also with the increase in portable wireless devices being brought onto a network, a growing number of institutions recognise additional security is required to ensure that any device accessing the network is unable to create disruption.

Bluesocket offers a simple and effective solution that automatically scans any unfamiliar devices being brought onto the network.

When scanning, Blueprotect will look for any form of threat to the network and ensure that that the set protocol is adhered to. If the guest device does not meet requirements, a message will pop up on the devices screen with instructions on what needs to be done in order to resolve the issue.
