AirMagnet and VeriSign Partner on Managed Security for Wireless LANs
SUNNYVALE, Calif., Jun 04, 2007 — AirMagnet Inc., the award-winning leader in wireless network assurance solutions, today announced a strategic relationship with VeriSign® to deliver the industry's first comprehensive managed service for wireless intrusion prevention. The new VeriSign Wireless Intrusion Prevention Service (IPS), used in conjunction with AirMagnet's Enterprise solution, is designed to effectively shield rapidly growing corporate wireless networks from theft and other evolving security threats. (See companion press release, "VeriSign and AirMagnet Launch New Managed Service to Prevent Wireless Data Theft.")
"As organizations increasingly deploy wireless networks for mission-critical applications, enterprises must take security and compliance seriously," said Dean Au, CEO of AirMagnet. "VeriSign's new service allows enterprises to outsource the technology, regulatory and operational elements of wireless security and lets them focus on their core business."
VeriSign Wireless IPS implements a zero-tolerance approach to security, making it ideal for organizations that depend on wireless networking, require strict security and compliance, and need to troubleshoot multiple wireless LAN locations without adding IT staff. Every WLAN is monitored 24x7 for optimal performance and availability, and a suite of active tools allows managers to 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 WLAN that is as secure, reliable and compliant as any wired network.
AirMagnet Enterprise is the leading enterprise-class solution for 24x7 wireless LAN security, performance monitoring and compliance reporting that actively defends the WLAN against more than 130 security threats, including rogue devices, denial-of-service attacks, dictionary attacks, faked APs and "stumbler" tools. It is capable of tracing and blocking threats wirelessly or at the wired port, pinpointing the exact location of every threat and providing detailed intrusion forensics. AirMagnet Enterprise is ideal for enterprises that depend on wireless networking, require strict security and compliance, or need to troubleshoot multiple WLAN locations without adding costly equipment or IT staff.
