Features and benefits
Simplicity
End users enjoy easy device registration and granting or removal of network access through a mobile app. Users' devices connect to the network the minute they arrive at the campus.
Security
End users can securely onboard their personal devices and can restrict others from network and device access. No one can get onto their network partitions unless they say so.
Visibility
IT admins get full visibility of all user devices, through the Client 360 feature of Cisco DNA Assurance. No surprises: You know exactly who and what's on the network.
Experience
Network admins and end users enjoy innovation and ease of use in the network experience.
