Type: Datasheet

OVERVIEW

For enterprises with wireless LAN networks, as well as

those without, Wi-Fi brings a new set of security threats

that cannot be protected against by current firewall and

VPN security systems.

Unsecure deployment of Wi-Fi Access Points (APs), or

rogue APs, can open up your network to potential

hackers, exposing confidential information about your

business, customers, products and services. And users

connecting to incorrect APs, whether internal rogue or

those external to your network, may lead to additional

vulnerabilities.

The 3Com

AirProtect Enterprise Wireless Intrusion

Prevention System solves these problems by delivering

similar protection as a wired firewall, but focused on

the corporate airwaves:

› Automatically identify and prevent security risks and

attacks from 802.11a, 11b, 11g and now 802.11n

devices

› Provide real-time network audits

› Assist in performance troubleshooting

› Monitor the overall health of the wireless LAN

KEY BENEFITS

PROTECT CONFIDENTIAL BUSINESS

INFORMATION

Confidential information about your business and

customers can be exposed through unsecure rogue and

misconfigured APs and when employees connect to

incorrect ones, such as those in close proximity to your

business but not under your control (for example, the

coffee shop next door). The 3Com AirProtect Enterprise

Wireless Intrusion Prevention System (IPS) controls

access to all these devices, helping to protect your

information.

COMPLETE THE NETWORK DEFENSES

Traditional firewalls and wired IPS systems only

monitor wired traffic and have no visibility into the

wireless traffic that is flowing in the air. Comprising a

server and at least one 802.11a/b/g wireless sensor or

802.11a/b/g/n wireless sensor device, the AirProtect

Enterprise Wireless IPS continuously scans the

airwaves and provides intrusion prevention against

unauthorized Wi-Fi activities.

ELIMINATE TIMECONSUMING FALSE POSITIVES

Other solutions claim rogue AP detection, but don't tell

you whether the discovered AP is on your network or a

neighbor's. There is no need to sort through these false

alarms about neighboring wireless networks—using

patented auto-classification techniques, external devices

are accurately classified and ignored while those that

pose a threat to your network are immediately blocked,

thereby protecting it.

MOST ROBUST WIRELESS THREAT PREVENTION

Patented technology prevents major categories of

threats from compromising your wireless network.

Each sensor monitors 62 channels, across the 2.4GHz

802.11b/g/n channels and the 5GHz 802.11a/n channels

and can prevent over 20 simultaneous threats.

FEATURES AND BENEFITS

DETECTS AND PROTECTS AGAINST UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS

Block unauthorized access to the wireless network, protecting business data.

Prevent authorized users from connecting to unauthorized access points, whether internal or external, so data on user’s computer is

not opened to the outside.

Disable all wireless connections, allowing enforcement of “no wireless” policies.

Compatible with IEEE 802.11 a/b/g/n access points from any vendor; no need to replace equipment to obtain protection.

DISCOVER AND TAKE ACTION AGAINST THREATS

Denial of Service (DoS) protection against wireless threats helps keep the network operating at top efficiency.

Selectable prevention level provides customizable protection: from "deter" wireless intrusions to “complete blocking”.

Simultaneous scanning of 62 channels and prevention of up to 20 simultaneous attacks per AirProtect Sensor helps ensure

comprehensive protection.

Location tracking assists in removal of rogue APs and clients, with a unique probability graph showing the most likely placement

of the offending device.

Automatic location tagging of events and devices facilitates threat resolution.

EASILY INSTALL AND MANAGE

Simple web interface quickly enables defense of the wireless network.

Automatic classification of threats reduces manual effort.

Alerts via email, Syslog and SNMP traps provide automatic notification of changes or threats in the wireless air space.

Easily expand wireless coverage by simply adding additional Sensors.

Manage up to 210 AirProtect Sensors from a single AirProtect Engine 6100 interface.

Available compliance and audit reports automatically document wireless IPS strategy fulfillment, freeing resources.

SIMPLIFIED COMPLIANCE REPORTING

Many IT organizations now face regular compliance

reporting requirements whether it be Sarbanes-Oxley,

HIPAA, GLBA or others. Pre-defined reports simplify

this task, with a security violation summary for each

section of the regulation. Interactive drill-down features

as well as customizable reporting and delivery frequency

provide the information you need, when you need it.

DESIGNED FOR SCALABILITY AND

MANAGEABILITY

With the management capabilities needed for today's

enterprise—remote management as well as monitoring—

the AirProtect Enterprise Wireless IPS delivers the

protection and performance you need across the nation,

or around the globe. Capabilities for multiple tiered

levels of management, as well as scalability and

performance enhancements, are included, supporting

the requirements of the largest enterprises.

DEPLOY IN JUST MINUTES WITH SIMPLE WEB

INTERFACE

The 3Com AirProtect Enterprise Wireless Intrusion

Prevention System can be set up in less than half an

hour. A simple web interface guides you through the

appropriate steps to quickly enable defense of your

wireless network.

THE WIRELESS NETWORK

Block unauthorized wireless access

The 3Com AirProtect Enterprise Wireless IPS

disables rogue and misconfigured APs, pre-

vents authorized users from accessing

unauthorized APs, and prevents unautho-

rized users from accessing the wireless

network (all protection instances marked

here with an “X”).
