WLAN Security, Performance, and Compliance
Wireless technologies pose a critical test to the enterprise.
While Wi-Fi offers the pportunity of more flexible and affordable
networks, it also introduces a new breed of risks and threats
that simply are not addressed by traditional security and monitoring
methods. AirMagnet Enterprise offers complete control over these
risks with the ability to lock down any number of WLANs and
proactively pinpoint problems in real-time. AirMagnet Enterprise
detects every threat, worldwide, and takes automatic action
with multiple layers of threat suppression. Every WLAN is continuously
monitored for optimal performance and availability, and a suite
of active tools lets managers troubleshoot problems remotely.
A professional reporting engine documents all events and automatically
audits the network for compliance with critical regulations.
The end result is a wireless LAN that is as secure, reliable
and compliant as any wired network.

Automated Intrusion Prevention
AirMagnet Enterprise creates a seal over
your wireless networks, automatically finding and neutralizing
threats as soon as they arise.
•
Superior Threat Detection
WLANs expose enterprises to a new class of security
threats where the Rogue AP represents only the tip of
the iceberg. AirMagnet continuously monitors for more
than 135 classes of wireless threats and over 200 Wi-Fi
channels via the industry's only fault- tolerant, truly
independent sensors. The local intelligence from each
sensor is then centrally correlated and further analyzed
for hidden security and performance anomalies. The solution
detects and prevents all types of Wi-Fi threats including
rogue devices, configuration vulnerabilities, attack tools,
DoS attacks, 802.11n issues and much more.

Wireless Threat Suppression
Wireless blocking lets managers immediately stop
wireless threats at their source. Any client, AP, ad hoc,
or attacker can be selectively targeted and blocked without
impacting the normal operation of the network.
• Wire-Side Threat
Suppression
AirMagnet Enterprise also includes the ability to automatically
trace a threat to a location on the wired network and
shut the associated switch port, thus shielding the larger
wired network from threats originating in the WLAN. Unlike
some other monitoring solutions, all tracing and blocking
is performed entirely within the AirMagnet solution, ensuring
comprehensive and independent network defense. |

•
Threat Forensics
The AirMagnet system provides the option to archive
the source traffic of any event for detailed forensic
analysis. This provides security staff with a database
of hard evidence of critical threats and intrusions
•
Locate Threats
AirMagnet shows the location of all threats on a map
of the location. Staff can easily see if a threat is
inside or outside the premises, and respond appropriately.
•
Automated Response
All AirMagnet actions can be tied to policy and triggered
automatically ensuring networks are protected 24 hours
a day, even when staff are not readily available.
Complete
Rogue Control
Rogue devices are a priority threat for every
wireless LAN and AirMagnet provides the most rigorous
approach on the market to detect, disable and document
every rogue, every time. |
•
Automatic Detection
AirMagnet constantly audits every device based on your policy
(MAC Address, SSID, Hardware Vendor, Channel, and 802.11 mode).
ACLs can be easily synched from other management systems such
as Cisco's WLSE.
•
Location Aware Detection
AirMagnet proactively identifies rogues that are inside any
secure area, making it easy to enforce true WLAN boundaries.
•
Trace Rogues to the Wire
Rogues are automatically investigated using multiple tracing
methods to quickly identify and stop rogues that are attached
to your LAN.
•
Disable Rogues
The AirMagnet actively disables rogue devices from both the
wireless and wired sides, completely isolating them from your
network. All responses are automatable to provide around-the-clock
protection from rogues.
•
Document
AirMagnet fully documents each rogue including its map location,
blocking status, switch and port information, and much more.
Detailed exportable reports can be generated in AirMagnet's
built in reporter.
Proactive
Performance Monitoring
In addition to providing best-of-breed security, the Enterprise
system also includes AirMagnet's renown performance analysis
and troubleshooting.
•
Maintain Optimal Performance
AirMagnet monitors for dozens of realworld performance issues
including overloaded resources, bandwidth problems, and RF
issues. The solution also audits every wireless device for
dozens of configuration issues that can rob the network of
performance. AirMagnet also offers sophisticated analysis
of performance trade-offs in mixed mode networks (11a/b/g
networks), as well as analysis of 802.11e and voice related
problems.
•
Traffic Analysis
AirMagnet analyzes traffic flows between all devices on the
network, and tracks all critical packet and frame metrics.
Users can view details in real-time for any conversation,
and the AirWISE engine proactively alerts users to conversations
with performance problems.
•
Spectrum Analysis
AirMagnet's Spectrum Sensors provides an enterprise with both
WLAN analysis and true spectrum analysis from anywhere in
the world. AirMagnet Spectrum Sensors automatically identify
and name the sources of interference (Bluetooth, Microwave
Oven, etc.) and can then actively alert staff. System users
can then remotely investigate with dozens of real-time spectrum
plots and charts.
•
Real-World Troubleshooting Tools
When a performance problem is detected, only AirMagnet provides
a suite of remote wireless troubleshooting tools to help network
staff investigate and resolve the problem remotely. A connection
diagnostic tool lets users pinpoint the cause of any 802.11
or 802.1x connectivity problem. System users can remotely
test DHCP servers and test any link of the the WLAN remotely.
Each sensor also includes the industry’s most advanced
WLAN analyzer, providing a completely live insight into the
inner workings of the network. Users can investigate to any
level of detail with native packet decoding. Users can also
save their AirMagnet troubleshooting sessions to be replayed
at a later date, or can save their sessions in a variety of
formats.
