Here's some more solutions to keep your Enterprise Wireless LANs secure. Enterprises must protect their network and users from new classes of wireless threats, such as attacks through rogue Access Points (APs) and loss of information assets through unauthorized wireless use.
The fastest way to make sure your wireless LAN (WLAN) is protected is to let the network protect itself. That’s why companies like Extreme Networks and Xirrus are partnering with providers of intrusion detection and prevention systems to embed security functions rather than force customers to install an overlay sensor network.
Xirrus, makers of the Wireless LAN Array product that integrates from 4 to 16 Wi-Fi access points in one box for coverage of an entire floor of a large building, will be using software from Network Chemistry. The upgrade — available to all Xirrus customers, new and old — will cost extra to turn on, but once activated, one of the embedded APs in the area becomes the air-monitoring sensor for the network.
Extreme Networks is complementing the strong security capabilities of its award-winning switching product line with AirTight Networks' SpectraGuard Enterprise as the preferred solution for protecting the wireless perimeter. Extreme Networks will reference sell the AirTight Networks' SpectraGuard solution.
