Managed Wireless Intrusion Detection & Response
Challenge
Worried about Wireless?
The ability to be connected anytime, anywhere without employees being tethered to their desks helps organisations increase efficiency while reducing the cost of doing business. Employees can now access corporate applications, email and the Internet from anywhere in the office - driving up productivity and allowing for a far more flexible working environment.
Add, Moves and Changes of staff, ad-hoc training sessions and providing secure Internet access to Visitors and Contractors is now drastically simplified and cost effective using wireless technologies.
These realisations in recent times has seen the role of Wireless LANs in the enterprise undergo a fundamental transformation. A groundswell of demand from both management and end-users alike has made Wi-Fi a pervasive component of the enterprise network. This adoption, however, has been anything but strict. Growth has been notoriously viral and unregulated, making it a challenge to even know about all the Wi-Fi infrastructure being deployed, much less manage it.
Solution
Worry no More!
The earthwave Managed Wireless Intrusion Detection & Response fully addresses the integrity of wireless networks - providing 24x7 monitoring of the Security, Performance, and Reliability of any number of WLANs, and delivering actionable information to management staff and systems anywhere in the world.
Earthwave Managed Wireless Intrusion Detection & Response replaces an informational void with complete knowledge of every Wi-Fi device and channel in the environment regardless of band (11a, 11b, or 11g). Our solution monitors the security measures in use on every device to insure compliance with established policies, while automatically scanning for dozens of wireless network attacks. In addition to security, the earthwave Managed Wireless Intrusion Detection & Response proactively addresses the performance and reliability of the network, without which, the WLAN simply could not be held to enterprise standards.
Protecting Your Wirless Infrastructure is Protecting Your Business
Just like a wired network, a wireless LAN (WLAN) requires a comprehensive security solution to guard against intruders and hackers who aim to discover proprietary documents, destroy sensitive files and launch crippling attacks across the Internet. While the threats to a WLAN are similar to that of a wired network, the required defenses are completely different because a WLAN's vulnerabilities are in the air. The airwaves surrounding a WLAN must be constantly monitored and protected to ensure the security of enterprise wireless LANs.
While the past year has welcomed new security protocols that make WLANs as secure as their wired counterparts, ensuring that all users and stations comply with these security measures has been another issue entirely. The earthwave Managed Wireless Intrusion Detection and Response Service address this gap by auditing and validating the security of every Wi-Fi device in the network, providing managers with an easy process to ensure all users employ the appropriate level of security. Supported protocols include but are not limited to: wep; leap; peap; tkip; mic; 802.1x; ttls; tls; eap-fast; wpa; wpa2; pptp vpn; l2tp vpn; ssh vpn; ipsec vpn.
So How Does It Work?
Our Intelligent Sensors are pre-configured for each site you chose to gain wireless visibility and are shipped ready to plug in and start monitoring. Each sensor is already integrated into our Security Operations Centre (SOC) monitoring and management systems before it reaches your site. An allocated Solutions Engineer will be available to assist in the strategic positioning and connectivity of the sensor. Optionally, we can arrange for an onsite engineer to help you through the deployment of the sensor, although it is rarely required.
These sensors will then provide around-the-clock coverage of the entire wireless environment including all 802.11a, 11b and 11g channels and infrastructure. Each individual sensor is armed with the patent-pending Analytical Engine to autonomously monitor the security, performance and reliability of your wireless network.
The earthwave SOC receives information from every sensor, secured by SSL and TLS ensuring management information remains secure while interoperating with corporate firewalls and VPNs.
One Size does not Fit All!
We realize with such a sophisticated solution and the wealth of information that can be provided by our Intelligent Sensors, every customer and maybe every site will not require all of the advanced features present in the earthwave Managed Wireless Intrusion Detection & Response Service. For this reason, we have broken down the service into 5 basic grades of service, ranging from a powerful and focused Rogue Audit Compliance solution, through both Performance and Security driven offerings and finally our Platinum Service that includes all of these great features and as well access to the Real-Time monitoring and troubleshooting dashboard.
For example, our Rogue Audit Compliance service is designed for all businesses that are concerned about the unavoidable penetration of wireless technologies into their facilities. Whether you have a fully deployed Wireless Security solution or a blanket "No Wireless" policy, our Rogue Audit solution gives you the peace of mind to know that every wireless device in your airspace is authorized, secured and configured appropriately.
The scary reality these days is that one unauthorized Access Point, one mis-configured AP or laptop, one Ad-Hoc wireless device can be enough to expose your network and your information assets into the hands of a malicious intruder. Without an effective Wireless Monitoring solution deployed at the perimeter of your network, it is impossible to ensure that these threats are not exposing you and your business.
