Decide what your WiFi reaches, free for 30 days

Tell us which networks you run and who is on them. We map a policy to each one: guests, staff, students, residents and paid tiers. Then point one network at Shield and see what it stops for 30 days, before you pay anything. Running change control? We plan a pilot on one SSID with your team instead. No hardware, no agents on devices.
