TMCNet: AirPatrol Rolls Out Wireless Threat Management Product Suite

AirPatrol Rolls Out Wireless Threat Management Product Suite

(Wireless News Via Thomson Dialog NewsEdge)
AirPatrol has launched its Wireless Threat Management product suite, an
information security product designed to protect an organization s
entire IT infrastructure against threats arising from the widespread
use of wireless technologies.

AirPatrol said that its Wireless Threat Management suite, featuring
WiVision products, will deliver an end-to-end, corporate-wide approach
to wireless threat detection and mitigation that addresses the IT
security and manageability requirements of organizations worldwide.

Organizations can spend millions of dollars securing wired networks,
and yet a $40 consumer-grade access point can render that investment
useless, said Nicholas Miller, AirPatrol CEO. Up until now the cost vs.
risk benefit has not favored the deployment of wireless security in
wired corporate environments. As a result, sensitive data and
proprietary networks have been left vulnerable to wireless attacks.
AirPatrol s Wireless Threat Management solution changes the equation
and enables organizations to efficiently and economically close
wireless security gaps.

With over 300 million wireless laptops in use and over 100 million more
being sold each year, businesses are at risk, whether or not they have
deployed a wireless network. AirPatrol s next-generation approach to
Wireless Threat Management enables organizations in the financial,
government, health care, corporate enterprise and retail sectors to
proactively protect networks and data against wireless-enabled attacks
-- in an affordable and efficient manner. A Wireless Threat Management
strategy helps companies do the following:

- Defend systems against wireless-enabled intrusions - Safeguard
information stored on laptops in the enterprise and on the road -
Monitor networks and detect unauthorized wireless devices - Prevent
wireless network service disruptions caused by interference in the
Wi-Fi bands

Security threats to enterprise environments are evolving at an
accelerated pace -- as wireless technologies continue to proliferate,
new vulnerabilities are continuously exploited, said Chris
Christiansen, Program Vice President Security Products & Services, IDC.
The ability to tighten information and network security controls for
both wired and wireless environments is critical for enterprises and
publicly traded companies that must ensure compliance with regulations
such as Sarbanes-Oxley.
