AirDefense Enterprise™
Anywhere, Anytime Wireless Protection System
AirDefense Enterprise™ is the most powerful Wireless Intrusion Prevention System (IPS) available. Having pioneered the field of wireless IPS, AirDefense continues to lead in innovation with 27 patents pending or granted. The AirDefense Enterprise solution provides complete protection against wireless threats, policy compliance monitoring, robust performance monitoring and troubleshooting, and location tracking in an appliance that can scale to meet the largest global organizations’ needs. AirDefense uses collaborative intelligence with secure sensors that work in tandem with a hardened purpose-built server appliance to monitor all 802.11 (a/b/g) wireless traffic in real time for the highest level of security, rogue mitigation and policy enforcement.
COMPREHENSIVE INTRUSION DETECTION
AirDefense Enterprise provides the most comprehensive detection of wireless intrusion attempts. By analyzing existing and day-zero threats in real-time against historical data, AirDefense Enterprise is able to accurately detect all wireless attacks and anomalous behavior. With context-aware detection, correlation and multi-dimensional detection engines, AirDefense detects only meaningful security events and maintains the lowest rate of false positive alarms. This next-generation wireless protection platform offers the industry’s most extensive event library, with more than 200 security and performance events.
Wireless vulnerabilities detected include reconnaissance (ad hoc stations, rogue APs, open/misconfigured APs), sniffing (dictionary attacks, leaky APs, WEP/WPA/LEAP cracking), masquerade (MAC spoofing, evil twin attacks/Wi- Phishing attacks), insertion (man-in-the-middle attack, multicast/broadcast injection) and denial-of-service attacks (disassociation, duration field spoofing, RF jamming).
AirDefense allows administrators to easily distribute and process alarms in enterprise deployments:
• Customized alarm views, notifications and priorities
• Flexible querying and filtering
• Third-party integration
AUTOMATED PROTECTION
AirDefense responds automatically to wireless threats by stopping the device involved before it is able to cause damage to the network. By responding on both the wireless and wired networks, AirDefense is the industry’s most secure wireless intrusion prevention solution. AirDefense performs targeted terminations ensuring that only the correct intruders and rogue devices are disconnected.
The system maintains a record of termination actions to allow for a reliable audit trail. AirDefense also complies with FCC regulations and eliminates the liability that could be associated with stopping a device wirelessly.
AirTermination™
AirDefense can mitigate wireless threats via the air by disabling wireless connections between intruders and authorized devices. AirTermination is extremely precise ensuring that only the offending device is prohibited from operating.
Wired-side Termination
AirDefense identifies the switch port to which offending devices are connected and turns it off thus preventing the rogue device from accessing the network.
