Case Study: Urban Development Company achieves passwordless 802.1X certificate-based access with SecureW2

Urban Development Organization Moves to 802.1x With SecureW2

an urban development company, valued at over $20 billion, faced significant security challenges with its network access, including a security scare from credential misuse. They needed to move away from pre-shared keys (PSK) without binding devices to Active Directory and sought a cloud-based certificate solution that integrated seamlessly with Okta. The company contacted SecureW2 to find a more secure alternative to traditional SCEP URLs.

SecureW2 provided a solution using Dynamic PKI and Cloud RADIUS, integrating with Okta via OpenID for secure, passwordless authentication. Managed devices were silently enrolled with certificates through Jamf, and a self-service portal was enabled for BYOD. The result was a seamless user experience with automatic certificate renewal that eliminated credential leak risks. SecureW2's deployment was completed in three weeks, providing a scalable, secure network without the need for on-premise servers.
