OVERVIEW
For enterprises with wireless LAN networks, as well as
those without, Wi-Fi brings a new set of security threats
that cannot be protected against by current firewall and
VPN security systems.
those without, Wi-Fi brings a new set of security threats
that cannot be protected against by current firewall and
VPN security systems.
Unsecure deployment of Wi-Fi Access Points (APs), or
rogue APs, can open up your network to potential
hackers, exposing confidential information about your
business, customers, products and services. And users
connecting to incorrect APs, whether internal rogue or
those external to your network, may lead to additional
vulnerabilities.

COMPLETE THE NETWORK DEFENSES
Traditional firewalls and wired IPS systems only
monitor wired traffic and have no visibility into the
wireless traffic that is flowing in the air. Comprising a
server and at least one 802.11a/b/g wireless sensor or
802.11a/b/g/n wireless sensor device, the AirProtect
Enterprise Wireless IPS continuously scans the
airwaves and provides intrusion prevention against
unauthorized Wi-Fi activities.

ELIMINATE TIME-CONSUMING FALSE POSITIVES
Other solutions claim rogue AP detection, but don't tell
you whether the discovered AP is on your network or a
neighbor's. There is no need to sort through these false
alarms about neighboring wireless networks—using
patented auto-classification techniques, external devices
are accurately classified and ignored while those that
pose a threat to your network are immediately blocked,
thereby protecting it.

MOST ROBUST WIRELESS THREAT PREVENTION
Patented technology prevents major categories of
threats from compromising your wireless network.
Each sensor monitors 62 channels, across the 2.4GHz
802.11b/g/n channels and the 5GHz 802.11a/n channels
and can prevent over 20 simultaneous threats.
