The lack of accountability for each site left the company vulnerable to unwanted individuals gaining access to their networks, potentially putting Allbirds at risk of data breaches. They needed a way to keep track of wireless access at all their locations while securing their networks.

Key benefits of Foxpass RADIUS include:
Simplicity – Set It and Forget It
Foxpass’ web terminal and console make RADIUS logging easy for the IT team and engineers without interruption to their workday. With a simple user interface and experience, Foxpass makes the IT team’s job easier. As a result, Foxpass saves Allbirds time through administering RADIUS to maintain users instead of having to manually control access themselves.
“I would give Foxpass RADIUS five stars for the logs alone, they’re easy to understand and convenient to use in our workflow.”
Improved Security
Widescale cloud RADIUS lets users log into the network using an individual username and password compared to one shared password. With cloud convenience, Allbirds uses Foxpass RADIUS to facilitate their Wi-Fi® access management from one central location; it helps them keep track of who is on their network. Foxpass also fits into their existing framework of Mobile Device Management (MDM) tools.
“Foxpass works with our directory and tools, fitting into the larger framework of our MDM tools like Kandji and Meraki for improved security.” Rey Davila
