Key Features

MAC-less client device onboarding: Seamlessly onboard client devices without relying on MAC addresses, ensuring secure segmentation and policy control without traditional 802.1X authentication.

Ability to create, rotate, and auto-expire PSKs at cloud scale: Easily create, rotate, and automatically expire Pre-Shared Keys (PSKs) at scale, simplifying Day 2 operations and minimizing service disruptions.

Dynamic traffic engineering: Route IoT traffic based on MPSK identity, forwarding it locally with specified VLAN tags or tunneling it to a Juniper Mist Edge in the data center for secure transport to the application server, ensuring traffic isolation.

Key-based WxLAN policy: Assign network policy restrictions to client devices based on PSK role using the Juniper Mist cloud-based WxLAN policy framework, empowering IT administrators to manage access to required resources and restrict access to unauthorized areas.

Personal WLAN: Provide a personalized WLAN for each client device, enhancing user experience and security by enabling dedicated connectivity.

Active device usage tracking per PSK: Gain comprehensive visibility into active devices for each PSK at the organization level, enabling IT administrators to monitor currently active client devices on a given PSK and identify top PSKs based on the number of active clients.

Automated key provisioning and rotation: Simplify the process of provisioning and rotating keys at scale, with automatic PSK generation and rotation to enhance security. This feature supports seamless client device onboarding through mobile QR codes or personalized passphrases without requiring client software installation.

100% programmable APIs: Access a comprehensive set of APIs for easy integration into any mobile device management solution, streamlining IoT device provisioning and enabling user self-provisioning portals.

Automated User-Based PSK Generation: Automate the generation of PSKs based on user identity, create self-provisioning PSK portals with Juniper Mist, support BYOD workflows leveraging native SAML connectors for seamless single sign-on experiences, and enable client device onboarding through mobile QR codes or personalized passphrases without requiring client software installation.
