| Wi-Fi wireless LAN network management, troubleshooting, and security monitoring requires that network managers and support engineers have the most comprehensive view of security events, packet-level data flow, and performance statistics. A combination of perimeter defenses, system-wide monitoring and intrusion detection, and ad hoc analysis and troubleshooting tools facilitates the Wi-Fi network planning, troubleshooting, and security analysis process. Connect802 uses AirMagnet tools and systems as part of one of our Connect EZ Solution Suites to meet the needs for wireless network performance and vulnerability analysis, intrusion detection, and rogue blocking. | |||||||||||||

You may want to read the in-depth AirMagnet industry perspective to learn more about the Wi-Fi networking industry and the AirMagnet response to the needs for Wi-Fi wireless network monitoring and Wi-Fi security and intrusion detections. AirMagnet is, first and foremost, a wireless network monitoring and security tool. It also provides wireless packet-level decoding to allow you to "drill down" to a problem. Of course, data in the air in a wireless network should be encrypted. Consequently, the more you drill down, the more likely it will be that you'll encounter encrypted data. That's why AirMagnet applies its expert system technology to making sense out of the traffic and reporting statistics and expert system intrusion detection, rogue access point, rogue device, and other WLAN security issues. Tools that are predominantly wireless packet-level protocol analyzers (like SnifferPRO Wireless, WildPackets AiroPeek NX, Network Instruments Observer, NetStumbler, and LinkFerret) are used, ultimately, for a different purpose. These packet-level protocol analyzers provide many ways to look at the contents of data packets, and, while AirMagnet allows you to examine the contents of data packets as well, AirMagnet focuses on the immediate, automatic notification of security violations, performance threshold issues, and other problem isolation, problem reporting, and problem source identification issues. If you're running a large, sophisticated network you'll need both intrusion detection (AirMagnet) and a packet-level protocol analyzer to troubleshoot your wired Ethernet. The AirMagnet handheld analyzer, AirMagnet portable analyzer, and AirMagnet distributed enterprise wireless LAN network monitoring and intrusion detection systems with the AirMagnet Sensors are sold by Connect802 as a security and network monitoring component of a Connect EZ Solution Suite. If you need commercial network monitoring and management tools, either software analysis tools, handheld protocol network protocol analysis tools, or a full enterprise wireless network security monitoring, intrusion detection, and rogue access point blocking system, We've Got You Covered. When it comes to network monitoring, network performance, network management, and the network monitoring tools and network tools you need for a secure, trouble free network, talk to Connect802 and we'll help you select the right equipment. In some cases it is absolutely critical that you improve the security of your Wi-Fi wireless network. Wi-Fi wireless network security monitoring and intrusion detection is only part of what the AirMagnet tools can do. Secure 802.11b Wi-Fi wireless LAN networks were originally discovered to have WEP flaws. By the time secure 802.11a and 802.11b/g networks had come on the scene, Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) provided one layer of wireless security and 802.1x RADIUS authentication added another layer of WiFi security. This didn't stop a person from bringing in a mass-market access point and creating a security exposure by simply plugging it in. That's were wireless network monitoring, intrusion detection systems, rogue blocking, and distributed wireless network analysis systems come into play. You need to have the right network instruments for wireless network protocol analysis. In addition to the network instruments and other RF-related tools, you need wireless network protocol analysis training. Armed with the products for LAN and wireless network analysis and protocol decoding, and on the basis of your network troubleshooting and protocol analysis training, you're ready to tackle the job of managing your WLAN. Connect802 can partner with you and provide professional consulting services and our TRAC™ trace file analysis service for network troubleshooting and protocol analysis so you can derive the maximum benefit from your packet sniffers, distributed analysis tools, and WLAN protocol analyzers. We can also provide you with wired and wirelss network test tools and protocol analyzers if you need them. The large number of mobile devices, wireless notebook computers, wireless networks, PDAs, and visitors to a business Wi-Fi network creates opportunities for security compromise. Intrusion detection systems and intrusion prevention systems create a way to discover and defend against vulnerabilities and threats and take Wi-Fi security countermeasures to protect and defend the wireless network. |
