We don’t treat Eduroam any differently than other SSID’s.  We have the ability to quarantine on any of them.

Subject: [SECURITY] Eduroam and Student Usage

I am sorry if this has been discussed before, but we have recently turned up and eduroam ssid on campus and have 
noticed a mass exodus from our secured (with NAC) ssid over to eduroam where we are not posturing computers.  We have 
our normal concerns such as being able to quarantine a DMCA offender or a computer with malware until we can find it 
and get it cleaned, etc.

If you are an eduroam school I would be interested in what you are doing do discourage or prevent students or even 
faculty/staff from using it in lieu of the secured ssid.

I apologize for bothering the non-eduroam schools. 
