Juniper Mist IoT Assurance
Juniper Mist IoT Assurance, as part of the Juniper Mist Access Assurance cloud service, streamlines IT operations while securing network connections for headless IoT and BYOD devices. It uses Multi Pre-Shared Key (MPSK) or Private Pre-Shared Key (PPSK) as new types of identity and policy vectors to provide a simple yet comprehensive way to onboard client devices without relying on client MAC addresses.

Featuring a cloud-hosted, microservices-based authentication system, Access Assurance provides a robust set of access controls within a user-friendly and flexible policy authorization framework to simplify network access control configuration, monitoring and management.
Key Features
- MAC-less client device onboarding
- Ability to create, rotate, and auto-expire PSKs at cloud scale
- Dynamic traffic engineering
- Key-based WxLAN policy
- Personal WLAN
- Active device usage tracking per PSK
- Automated key provisioning and rotation
Features + Benefits
Simplified onboarding
Onboard client devices without relying on MAC addresses for seamless experiences with the same secure segmentation and policy control you get with traditional 802.1X authentication.
Dynamic traffic engineering
Based on MPSK identity, IoT traffic can be forwarded locally to an upstream access switch with a specified VLAN tag or tunneled to a Juniper Mist Edge in the data center for secure transport to the application server. In both scenarios, traffic remains isolated from the rest of the network.
PSK role-based WxLAN policy
Assign network policy restrictions to client devices based on PSK role using the Juniper Mist cloud-based WxLAN policy framework. IT admins can easily allow IoT devices to only access required resources and block access to everything else.
Key lifecycle management
Simplify Day 2 operations at scale with automatic PSK expiration. A simple, effective key migration technique allows IT to regularly rotate PSKs while onsite personnel avoid any disruption in service.
End-to-end PSK usage visibility
IoT Assurance provides full visibility into active devices for each PSK at the organizational level in the Mist dashboard. IT admins can easily track which client devices are currently active on a given PSK and display top PSKs by current active client count.
100% programmable APIs
Easily integrate IoT Assurance capabilities into unified endpoint management or mobile device management (UEM/MDM) solutions to automate IoT device provisioning and integrate with user-facing self-provisioning portals.
Automated user-based PSK generation
Create self-provisioning PSK portals with Juniper Mist to automate PSK generation based on user identity. This supports BYOD workflows leveraging native SAML connectors for SSO (single sign-on) experiences. It also enables seamless client device onboarding via mobile QR code or by entering a personalized passphrase without installing any client software.
