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.
