Usage Guidelines
With the development of Internet, many enterprises allow employees to wirelessly access the enterprise intranet using their own intelligent devices such as cellphones, tablets, and laptops, which satisfies employees' pursuit of new technology and desire of being unique, and improves their efficiency as well. This is called Bring Your Own Device (BYOD). However, access to enterprise intranet through PCs may cause potential security risks, and traditional security technology based on user identity authentication and authorization can no longer guarantee network security. It is in such a background that the terminal type identification technology comes out. With this technology, the types of the devices that employees use to access the intranet can be identified, facilitating access control. During the implementation of BYOD, administrators can limit intranet access rights to specified types of mobile devices and perform authentication and authorization based on users, device types, access time, access points, and environment information about the devices.
A terminal type identification profile is configured with terminal types that can be identified by devices, and identification rules. With the configured identification rules, the types of devices using which employees access the intranet can be identified, helping administrators to control employees' access rights.
