ClearPass Guest is a solution for secure guest access networks that addresses three key challenges: 1) non-secure access, 2) manual intervention required for credential provisioning, and 3) separate point solutions for management and enforcement. It provides automated workflows for credential distribution, a single portal for WiFi and wired access, and centralized policy management. ClearPass Guest automates guest access provisioning and enables secure and customizable guest networking solutions for environments like retail stores, hospitals, and public venues.
