Technology
Our technology is based on the award winning AirMagnet Enterprise wireless sensor. AirMagnet performs intrusion detection in real-time and at the traffic source by building a full wireless analysis engine into every sensor. Other key benefits of our architecture include:
Massive Scalability - Distributing analysis at the sensors removes the server as a processing choke-point, thus enabling each of our servers to scale to managing thousands of sensors.
Minimal Network Impact - Processing at the sensor also vastly reduces the amount of data each sensor sends to the server, thus minimizing bandwidth and ensuring minimal impact to normal network operations.
Continuous Correlation – We continuously correlate and analyze data from all sensors, including non-wireless security devices, ensuring that threat intelligence is always coordinated across the entire enterprise.
Automated Threat Response - Detecting a threat is only the first step in protecting wireless. We provide a full arsenal of responses and mitigation techniques that can be tied to and triggered by enterprise policies. Threat Tracing - All threats and devices are automatically traced using both wired and wireless methods to accurately determine if a threat is connected to the wired network, helping to quickly prioritize and differentiate threatening devices
Threat Blocking and Suppression - Threats can be manually or automatically remediated with a combination of both wired and wireless threat suppression, keeping all threats fully quarantined without impacting normal network operations
Location Tracking - All threats and devices can be located on a map or floorplan and even trigger rogue alarms based on location
Event Forensics - Our system can capture a complete forensic record for any network or spectrum event, allowing staff to retain hard evidence or save data for detailed post-mortem analysis
Interference Analysis – We also have the ability to perform a complete interference analysis that correlates the three unique sources of interference (from WiFi devices, from hidden nodes and from physical environmental noise). The spectrum analysis option also allows users to proactively identify the source of non-WiFi devices that can cause interference such as microwave ovens, cordless phones or legacy wireless equipment.
