“Even though we have a standard no-wireless policy in our facilities, as soon as we installed the AirPatrol Cellular IDS system, on the first day of a classified seminar, we detected as many as 80 violations!"
Former U.S. intelligence Officer

“Before becoming a disaster guru, I worked at places like Lockheed Martin / TRW / Northrop Grumman in the SIGINT community. Your products are cool! How come I did not think of that?"

Government agencies at the federal, state and local levels are entrusted with sensitive information. The ability to protect information is critical not only for national security but also to preserve public trust and confidence in government services. The proliferation of wireless technologies introduces new challenges and opportunities for agencies at all levels.

The Challenge

A breach of classified information can expose a nation’s citizens, properties and interests to unpredictable, and sometimes unprecedented threats. With the ever-growing threat of cyber-terrorism and insider espionage, government agencies must be cognizant of new attack methods that may render critical government information more vulnerable to intrusion, theft or sabotage.

Wireless devices can be exploited and used by cyber-terrorists as entry point into critical interconnected infrastructures. In addition, cell phones with built-in cameras and data storage and transfer capabilities introduce new internal threats, which must be circumvented. To fulfill national security directives and protect mission-critical operations, many agencies are choosing to enforce no-wireless policies or allow wireless in very limited areas.

Establishing policies without a means of enforcement is not sufficient to meet directives and support new cyber-security initiatives. To effectively enforce no-wireless policies and prevent exposures, agencies need visibility into their operations with the ability to maintain constant and vigilant security.

The Opportunity

Beyond the introduction of new threats, wireless technologies enable new opportunities for government agencies to detect and locate civilians and military personnel in times of crisis or battlefield operations. Because cell phones continuously emit a radio signal when turned on, government agencies can recover individuals using cell phone locationing technology.

The Solution

Wireless Locationing System (WLS)

To comply with both regulations and security necessities, it is essential to have a surveillance system in place so the company can immediately determine if an unauthorized cellular phone or WiFi device is powered on, and where it is located within the facility, so that its use can be stopped. WLS provides the actionable intelligence network administrators need to confidently manage how and where cellular phones and WiFi devices are used.

Detecting, tracking, and neutralizing unauthorized cellular and WiFi devices in designated areas assists companies in preventing unauthorized communications regarding financial, confidential or other information and also protects their critical network infrastructure.

Wireless Policy Manager (WPM) and Wireless Endpoint Client (WEC)

AirPatrol WPM and WEC provide the means for wireless network policy definition and effective endpoint policy enforcement to prevent unauthorized WiFi devices from easily introducing serious vulnerabilities into critical networks. Using WPM and WEC, network administrators can guard against threat such as: Dual-homing, Rogue APs and devices, Wireless Phishing, Evil Twin attacks, Wireless Client Promiscuity, violations of Wireless Security Policies, and many other threats.

Using AirPatrol’s products, government agencies are protecting citizens and preemptively preventing attacks against critical interconnected infrastructures and information.
