AI-driven Wireless Takes Security to the Next Level

No IT system is an island, and AI is the perfect bridge for seamlessly interconnecting wired, wireless, security, and other IT systems together. It brings much needed automation and insight and turns best-of-breed autonomous platforms into a cohesive, integrated stack.

Mist has been committed from day one to lead the AI for IT charge. To do this, we are focusing on two key areas:

Technology: Mist built the world’s first inline AI engine, Marvis, which simplifies Wi-Fi operations and gives unprecedented insight into the mobile user experience. The Mist platform is built on an open, programmable cloud architecture, which enables Mist’s AI capabilities to be easily leveraged by IT personnel. We are constantly working on ways to build out our AI story and make it easier for IT staff to leverage.

Partnerships: Mist is working with the world’s best companies to integrate our AI-driven WLAN with other pieces of the IT stack. This ensures interoperability across platforms and broadens the benefits of automation across silos.

Furthering our ecosystem of partners, Mist is pleased to announce today that we have joined forces with Palo Alto Networks to marry wireless service levels and location with security profiling and enforcement to deliver unprecedented visibility and control over mobile users, devices and IoT.

More specifically, Mist has officially become part of the Palo Alto Networks Application Framework, where the two companies have come together to deliver a solution with enhanced visibility into the security and wireless experience. Unique capabilities include:

  • Set and enforce policies that determine which mobile users and devices have access to which resources, based on user/role/device/location.
  • Monitor the user quality of experience, including network performance, application performance, and security threats.
  • Create automated workflows – e.g. automatically block access to resources or quarantine devices when a security threat is detected.
  • Map physical location with client experiences and security threats and automate remediation of vulnerabilities at a client level.
