Guest Wireless Access – ZScaler Certificate Installation
Personally owned devices are required to authenticate to ZScaler to gain access to the Internet. Users will be required to install the ZScaler root security certificate so your Internet traffic is securely transmitted. BH Media Group (BHMG) does not use this to collect any information from the computer and does not monitor your device when not connected to a BHMG wireless network.
