A New Approach to Wireless Threat Management AirPatrol’s next-generation approach to Wireless Threat Management enables organizations to proactively protect networks and data against wireless-enabled attacks – in an affordable and efficient manner.
Securing Hardwired Environments With the widespread usage of wireless technologies, enterprises are no longer in complete control of their wired network infrastructure. Organizations can spend millions of dollars securing wired networks and yet a $40 consumer-grade access point or careless employee can render that investment useless. AirPatrol’s Wireless Threat Management solutions help enterprises assess vulnerabilities, control the environment, and mitigate risks.
Guard Information
Securing information is more complex than ever. Millions of employees now leave the workplace with volumes of corporate data stored on laptops or other wireless devices. When employees connect to insecure networks—from home, at the coffee house, in the airport—or fail to use wireless security best practices, it can place sensitive data at risk. To protect corporate assets and comply with industry mandates, businesses must be able to secure the endpoints and enforce security best practices.
Protect IT Infrastructure
Most people don’t think of an access point or laptop as a dangerous weapon, but hackers know better. The simple connection of a wireless notebook to a wired network can open up an entry point into a company’s wired network, accessible by anyone with a wireless device (on a different floor, in the parking lot, or across the street), just as if they were seated at a desk in the office. To monitor and defend networks against wireless security threats, enterprises need actionable intelligence and proven threat mitigation techniques.
Safely Enabling Business Mobility
An unprecedented number of enterprises are embracing the Wi-Fi revolution and prospering through the efficiency gains. But before enterprises can take full advantage of a world without wires, they must first secure the environment and arm themselves with the tools necessary to ensure network performance. AirPatrol helps enterprises gain control of wireless environments and maintain service continuity without inhibiting users or slowing performance.
Secure Communications
A wireless network is basically an untrusted, insecure medium, just like the Internet. Unlike a wired network, where information travels through a network cable, a wireless network allows information to travel through a broad, unrestricted area, where the information can be intercepted from the air by anyone sharing the same access point. To protect communications, enterprises must be able to control how, when and from where users can gain access to wireless networks.
Ensure Service Continuity
As businesses become increasingly dependent on wireless technologies for voice and data communications, the quality and reliability of wireless services becomes mission critical. Malicious or non-malicious denial-of-service attacks caused by interference in the Wi-Fi bands, from cordless phones, microwave ovens and other broadband radio devices, can severely impact wireless network performance or block service completely. In addition, network mis-configuration, equipment failures, and increasing bandwidth demands can cause network performance issues. Businesses need the right tools to detect, diagnoses and resolve performance threats. | |
