3e Technologies International and AirDefense Partner to Deliver Integrated Military-Grade Wireless Security and Management; Solution Provides Ruggedized AP-Sensing Solution with Dedicated Monitoring.FT. LAUDERDALE, Fla. -- 3e Technologies International (3eTI), the leading wireless LAN A local area network that transmits over the air typically in the 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz unlicensed frequency band. It does not require line of sight between sender and receiver. Wireless base stations (access points) are wired to an Ethernet network and transmit a radio frequency over an area infrastructure and application company for the US Government market, today announced the integration of its wireless LAN infrastructure and management products with AirDefense's industry-leading intrusion protection system (IPS) AirDefense Enterprise. The new integrated security solution allows 3eTI customers to proactively protect their enterprise WLAN See wireless LAN. WLAN - wireless local area network from the threat of security breaches, while decreasing operations and management costs. "The 3eTI and AirDefense integrated security solution provides peace of mind to our commercial and Federal customers, giving them complete protection from security breaches," said Steven Chen of 3eTI. "The robustness of the combined 3eTI and AirDefense solution ensures that customers can continue their WLAN deployments, with the added benefit of protection and defense from security threats." The 3eTI infrastructure solution integrated into the AirDefense "self-managed" wireless protection system offers many advantages for security and network managers for all government customers. 3eTI Access Points are FIPS (Federal Information Processing Standards) A series of publications issed by the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) that specifies information security guidelines for federal government departments and agencies. 140-2 Level 2 validated by NIST (National Institute of Standards & Technology, Washington, DC, www.nist.gov) The standards-defining agency of the U.S. government, formerly the National Bureau of Standards. It is one of three agencies that fall under the Technology Administration (www.technology. for use by the U.S. Military and Federal agencies providing a DoD-proven solution for use in the most hostile and adverse environments. The 3eTI Access Points can now be used as sensors and provide monitoring data to the AirDefense Enterprise system, enabling comprehensive detection of all wireless threats and effective protection. Customers benefit from having a complete, correlated view of their wireless network with enhanced network control and management. "Enterprises and government organizations now have a combination of best of breed products to enable risk-free wireless deployments in any environment," said Anil Khatod, CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization. Typically the president of the company, the CEO reports to the Chairman of the Board. and president of AirDefense. "The joint capability offered by the partnership allows customers to confidently move ahead with their wireless initiatives." 3eTI was the first to offer FIPS 140-2 Level 2 Validated wireless access points and FIPS 140-2 Level 2 crypto clients for Intel(R) Centrino(TM) mobile technology all of which are currently in Common Criteria (Common Criteria for Information Technology Security) An international standard process for defining security objectives and for evaluating compliance with those objectives. The Common Criteria have largely replaced the Trusted Computer Security Evaluation Criteria (TCSEC), the Canadian evaluation. 3eTI combines 802.11i, FIPS 140-2, AES-CCM (FIPS 197 certificate #1), and EAP-TLS See EAP. for robust wireless security and offers advanced features such as 192/256-bit AES, etc. The AirDefense security and monitoring system is based on patent-pending technology that incorporates distributed sensors with a server appliance A self-contained computer system specialized for network use. Its applications are pre-installed, and access to setup and configuration is via a Web browser. Server appliances may provide a single application or several applications; for example, a single device may provide file server, . The remote sensors monitor all wireless LAN activities 24x7 and communicate with the appliance, which correlates and analyzes the data to provide scalable, centralized management of all WLAN deployments by providing rogue detection, policy enforcement, intrusion protection and health monitoring of the wireless LAN. The AirDefense solution has been deployed in more than 400 distributed enterprise networks worldwide. 3eTI and AirDefense are exhibiting at the Army DOIM DOIM Directorate Of Information Management DOIM Director of Information Management DOIM Directory of International Mail DOIM Defect/Open Issue Meeting DOIM Dense Optical Interface Module Conference 2005 in Ft. Lauderdale, FL from August 23-25. To view demonstrations of the integrated security solution, please visit 3eTI at Booth 804 and AirDefense at Booth 528.
