1 How Cloud WiFi solves today´s challenges
Nov 2017

2 Mojo Networks Founded in 2003 focused on WIPS
1st Cloud Designed for Enterprise Veterans of the WiFi Industry HQ in Silicon Valley, Engineering in India ***To be used if prospect has no prior experience of Mojo or has not yet met the sales team*** At Mojo Networks we have a long history of working with both Cloud and Wireless technologies We began with a pure security platform, aimed to accurately and reliably identify wireless threats on the wire and in the air in order to automatically neutralize them Our cloud was purpose-built to manage autonomous sensors that scan 24/7 Needed to scale for data processing Needed to scale for distributed environments Needed to ensure sensors could operate at 100% capacity without a direct connection to the cloud (Controller-free architecture) We evolved to provide a combined solution of access and security, providing both core services through a “Dual-mode” access point that could both scan and provide access at the same time Our cloud needed to grow to take in the increased data required to manage active users, optimize networks, distribute WiFi policies across large distributed environments We needed to provide enhanced monitoring and reporting capabilities to make sense of this new data, and compartmentalize it so each user could quickly access the data he or she truly cared about Today we employ a unified approach to WiFi, where intelligent, autonomous access points connect to a purpose-built cloud architecture designed to scale networks to near infinite levels The cloud provides a unified approach to wireless networks, offering a complete suite of applications and tools needed throughout the entire enterprise WiFi workflow Access points are fully capable of finding the cloud, keeping their configurations up to date, and automatically optimizing networks to keep them performing at optimal levels This combination allows us to act quickly to support customer and industry needs, Cloud updates for new features and security New applications built using our fully-featured, web-based API We can ensure that the integrity of the cloud, and by extension our customers’ data, is completely secure from external attacks The efficiencies created for our cloud operations teams, in addition to the efficiencies created for you within your team and their WiFi related tasks, means we can deliver significant savings Over 50% reduction in total CapEx expenditures A move to OpEx spending that covers cloud services, updates, support and maintenance 2003 2015 2016 2017 Wireless Security Cloud WiFi Engagement Analytics Tri-Radio Access Points Cognitive WiFi

3 History of WiFi – What is missing today?
IoT Management Management BYOD Control Desktops / Laptops Designed for need Control Data Mobility Management Control Data Data Your WiFi needs to support this shift Overtime WiFi has evolved in response to the growing number of wifi devices More devices means a greater appetite for capacity More devices adds complexity and unpredictability into the network Major challenges were first addressed at the hardware level but soon were met by management software as hardware started to commoditize Today’s challenge goes beyond the physical constraints of current WiFi architectures Today’s challenge concerns the ability to store and make sense of the massive amount of data coming from your network so that you can automate WiFi Cloud Wi-Fi First Gen WiFi Fat-APs Controllers 2001 2008 2013 2017 802.11a/b/g 54 Mbps 802.11n 450 Mbps 802.11ac Wave 1 1.3 Gbps 802.11ac Wave 2 3.5 Gbps

4 Benefits of Cloud vs. Controllers
PoC Fast No need for onsite presence 1st Deployment Replicate PoC Easy integration with existing systems Inherent High Availability Growth No compromises Unlimited scalability Optimal for all sizes Support Engineer online in minutes Collaborative troubleshooting Proactive monitoring Automated SW upgrades Future No HW dependencies for next-gen APs Unlimited CPU and Storage for new features

5 AP hardware is commoditized

6 State of Enterprise WiFi
AP H/W AP S/W Management Chipset Device driver CPU RAM Flash Eth USB Antenna Antenna WiFi industry needs to “open up” like the datacenter (OCP) and networking (SDN/NFV) industries

7 Vision: Open Access Point
Benefit to WiFi vendors: Provide customers more H/W choices. Leverage economies of scale in manufacturing, distribution and stocking Mojo Networks just joined Open Compute Project in Feb 2017 Network OS ONIE bootloader Open AP H/W

8 Tri-Radio APs Improved Troubleshooting Application Performance
Complete spectrum analysis and over-the-air packet capture increases effectiveness Application Performance No impact on voice and video applications by persistent third radio scans Multifunction Radio 2x2 11ac Radio Resource Management Persistent scans feed more and better information to support RRM functions Dedicated WIPS Security Free to perform automatic over-the-air prevention without impacting access clients Access Radios 2.4 & 5GHz

9 The need for Dedicated Scanning
Scan – 100ms Access Point Dedicated scanning is becoming a major requirement to support modern high-bandwidth applications Background scanning disrupts these applications when running Background scanning is often disabled automatically or entirely RRM and RF optimization suffers without constant off-channel data 2.4GHz 5GHz Number of Channels 14 36 Time to complete one full scan using background scanning 2 minutes, 21.6 seconds 6 minutes, 3.6 seconds dedicated scanning 1.4 seconds 3.6 seconds

26 Wi-Fi almost always gets blamed!
But more often than not, it is not the direct cause of end-user issues.

27 Client Journey Association Authentication Network Application
- Association limit - Capability mismatch - Unauthorized client - … - Incorrect PSK - RADIUS auth failure - RADIUS server not responding - EAPOL failure - Fast roaming failure - DHCP failure - DNS failure - Portal failure - Application failure - WAN failure

28 Mojo Aware – WiFi management made easy
WiFi is to blame NOT to blame

29 Baselining for automated anomaly detection
Benchmarks “normal” behavior of your WiFi network, including overall WiFi client experience as well as individual KPIs such as retry rate, data rate, latency, etc. Detects anomalies and compare baselines across APs, clients, or sites 18 Mar 9:30am – 9:45am Baseline: 2.2% Total Clients: 33 Clients Affected: 6 (18.2%) Association Failures: 0 (0.0%) Authentication Failures: 5 (15.2%) Network Failures: 1 (3.0%)

30 Auto Packet Trace APs buffer latest packets for each connection
In the event of a failure, packet trace is stored in the Cloud Auto packet captures inline and in real time, stored in the context of specific client failures Visual packet trace analysis and auto diagnosis simplifies debugging. View Packet Trace

31 Mojo Packets The best RF troubleshooting tool in the market
Remotely capture traces in real time from any Mojo access point Color coded data points and visualization filters makes troubleshooting easy and very fast Add, share, download, or delete traces from the cloud library Mojo Packets is a cloud based tool that represents RF traces graphically Allows to quickly spot events and problems referenced with a timeline graph. Zoom in and mouse over data points frame by frame, or second by second.

32 Client Emulation with 3rd radio

33 Challenge #5 – Wireless Security

34 Wireless Security Wi-Fi is the most vulnerable layer in Enterprise Security
Wi-Fi threats not addressed by other security infrastructure in the enterprise Main threads are: Unlicensed spectrum Commoditization Hotspots are Open SSIDs It´s a shared medium Management frames are sent in the clear Anyone can spoof management frames Sophisticated pentest tools available Elevator Pitch for this slide (Not more than 30 seconds) Mojo AirTight is the industry’s best WIPS system. It’s patented Marker Packet Technology provides 3 unique benefits:- # 1 - Real time detection and automatic prevention of all types of wireless threats even when the Mojo AP loses connectivity to the cloud. # 2 - It locks down your corporate Wi-Fi devices (for K-12 change this to student devices) by ensuring they stay connected to the corporate Wi-Fi network # 3 - It provides peace of mind with minimal false alarms Details Mojo Network’s patented Marker Packet technology

35 All frames prior to WPA2 key negotiation are sent IN THE CLEAR,
Management Frames Beacons: I am here All frames prior to WPA2 key negotiation are sent IN THE CLEAR, so the can be heard, copied, spoofed and replayed Probe Request Are you there? Probe Response Yes, I am here Authentication Request Can we be friends? Authentication Response Yes, we can Association Request Lets be friends AssociationResponse Ok, but let´s keep it private WPA2 key negotiation Data Forwarding Deauthentication
