Evaluation Lessons Learned

Over the time we have used Cisco Access Points, we are now integrating more security into our wireless environments. We are now utilizing systems like Cisco ISE to provide restricted access to our wireless. If we had to select a new wireless solution, we would make sure that the new system is able to integrate with our security systems to provide the adequate security we are looking for.
