Device Fingerprinting
Getting Started with the Mobile Computer
With the increase in popularity of Bring Your Own Devices (BYOD) for use in the corporate
environment, there is an increase in the number of possible vectors of attacks on the network.
BYOD devices are inherently unsafe as the organization does not have control on the level of
security on these devices. The organizations can protect their network by limiting how and what
these BYODs can access on and through the corporate network.
Device fingerprinting feature enables administrators to control how BYOD devices access the
network and control their access permissions.

1. Select Configuration tab from the Web user interface.
Select Security
