Onboard + WorkSpace
Onboarding is the process of preparing a device for use on an enterprise network by creating the appropriate access
credentials and setting up the network connection parameters. The Onboard + WorkSpace module provides all the
features of ClearPass Onboard and ClearPass WorkSpace together:
l ClearPass Onboard automates 802.1X configuration and provisioning for “bring your own device” (BYOD) and IT-
managed devices across wired, wireless, and virtual private networks (VPNs). For more information, see "About
ClearPass Onboard" on page 67.
l When an employee uses their personal device for work, ClearPass WorkSpace lets your organization keep its
enterprise applications, files, and processes securely separated from the user's personal items on the device. Then if
the device is ever lost or compromised, all your organization's applications and information can be remotely erased
without affecting any of the user's own files. For more information, see "About ClearPass WorkSpace" on page 155
