Wireless LAN can be a threat to your business - even if you have no access points

Protect your enterprise network from unauthorised WLAN activity

Overview

802.11-based Wireless LANs (WLANs) have quickly emerged as one of the most important assets in the enterprise technology landscape. Low costs of ownership and the need to extend existing networks to a mobile user base has steadily fueled the adoption of Wi-Fi across all industries. However, much like the evolution of Ethernet before it, the rate of 802.11 implementations have outpaced the adoption of the professional tools and practices needed to properly manage these networks. This has left security and network professionals to combat a new breed of network threats with tools that were originally designed for a wired infrastructure.

Unlike their wired counterparts, WLANs are in constant flux, and are unbound by physical barriers. Each station in the network represents a potential point of weakness if not properly configured and monitored. As a result, professionals need tools tailored to the demands of Wi-Fi, that can alert them to problems as they develop and help resolve them quickly.

AirMagnet Wireless LAN Analyzers are designed to make Wi-Fi as secure and reliable as its Ethernet predecessors, and includes administration tools in the areas of Security Management, Performance Management, Installation Surveying, Connection Troubleshooting and Wireless Administration.

Products include portable tools for survey, installation and ongoing operations - and distributed systems for 24 x 7 enterprise wide security and performance monitoring of all wireless activity, including voice-over-wi-fi (Vo-Fi)
