Wireless Policy Manager (WPM)


AirPatrol WPM makes it easy to secure wireless and USB connections to your Enterprise laptops.


Today's wireless world is one in which ideas are exchanged faster, collaboration with colleagues is easier, and the traditional boundaries of an office environment have faded. With this new-found freedom comes a heightened requirement for wireless security. As companies embrace a wireless ecosystem, they recognize the criticality of wireless security and the need to protect and manage the wireless assets they own.

AirPatrol Wireless Policy Manager (WPM) easily and securely manages a large distributed deployment across the enterprise.

  • Distributing the AirPatrol Wireless Endpoint Client (WEC) component to wireless endpoints across the enterprise
  • Generating and managing subscriber list of users and endpoints
  • Distributing wireless security policies to the distributed endpoints

In this way, WPM is used to generate and centrally manage tailored wireless endpoint security policies that include:

  • AirSafe - Provides automatic, out-of-the-box protection against multihoming. Anytime a laptop's wireless interface (802.11 card or cellular broadband modem) is active and a wired Ethernet connection is attempted, WEC automatically disables the wireless connection.
  • Infrastructure Authentication Policy Enforcement for 802.11 - Define minimum levels of security required when connecting to wireless networks.
  • Ad-hoc Authentication Policy Enforcement for 802.11 - Specify minimum levels of ad-hoc security required or completely disable the use of ad-hoc wireless networks.
  • Virtual Private Network (VPN) policy enforcement - Auto-launch and enforce VPNs if certain wireless security parameters are not met.
  • Connection Exceptions - Create "whitelists" or "blacklists" of wireless access points to control which access points your users can associate with.
  • Endpoint Firewall - Enforce the use of host-based firewall prior to allowing wireless network connections.
  • Location Aware - Predefined list of trusted, preferred wireless networks.
  • USB Device Control - Control the types of USB devices that can connect to the WEC-enabled laptop.
  • Secure Passphrase Distribution - Easily and securely distribute SSID passphrases to users.
