Always On and Automatic Wi-Fi Security

2ALWAYS ON AND AUTOMATIC WI-FI SECURITY

Constant protection for any network connection Our Automatic Wi-Fi Security and Always On VPN features ensure that encryption is a prerequisite for unsecured connections, and that the user’s connection is not exposed even in the event of failure. These features are designed for enterprises that leave nothing to chance and need to protect employees who expect to work securely and efficiently from anywhere.

What is Automatic Wi-Fi Security? Automatic Wi-Fi Security is a patented, proactive security measure that protects team members who need to connect using unsecured Wi-Fi. Logging into unsecured public Wi-Fi can be dangerous for travelling employees and can result in data theft and compliance violations. The Automatic Wi-Fi feature automatically recognizes unsafe conditions, and requires a VPN connection to gain network access, even if the user is logged in.

Benefits of Automatic Wi-Fi Security • Agent automatically recognizes if a user is on an unsecured connection such as public Wi-Fi, and

enforces a VPN connection in order to gain access • Defines trusted networks where the agent doesn’t require users to have a VPN connection before

accessing resources

What is Always On? Harmony SASE’s Always On VPN feature ensures that if a user’s VPN tunnel is disconnected, their internet connection will also be disconnected until encryption is successfully reestablished. It is meant as a reactive security measure should the VPN fail, so that the user and their connection are never exposed.

Benefits of Always On • Immediately isolate the exposed connection if a user’s VPN tunnel is disconnected, stopping cyber

criminals before they can infiltrate • Prevent internet browsing and resource access with an unencrypted connection

At Work: Automatic Wi-Fi Security and Always On Jennifer, an EMEA sales representative visiting a potential client in Dubai, logs into the Harmony SASE agent. Because her network admin activated Automatic Wi-Fi Security, the agent recognizes that the hotel network she is on is unsecured and therefore makes encryption a requirement before she can gain network access.

After connecting to her Harmony SASE network, which begins tunneling her encrypted traffic through the appropriate gateway, she is able to access Google Cloud. After 15 minutes of working, she suddenly loses her VPN connection. While the VPN connection is inactive, she is prevented from using Google Cloud, as her connection is exposed. The VPN quickly reconnects, and internet and network access are both restored.

Automatic Protection, Always It’s important to have a contingency plan for unsecured connections. Employees won’t always be in the office or on a protected network when accessing corporate resources, but they still need to get their work done. Make it happen automatically, and securely, with Harmony SASE.
