AirDefense Announces AirDefense Mobile; AirDefense Now Offers Industry's First Comprehensive and Fully Integrated Wireless Security Solution.

ATLANTA -- AirDefense, the leader in anywhere, anytime wireless security monitoring, today broadened its product line by introducing AirDefense Mobile(TM). AirDefense Mobile is the first and only wireless LAN analyzer to perform a real-time assessment of all 802.11 a/b/g wireless in the immediate vicinity and coordinate with the AirDefense Enterprise product.

AirDefense Mobile synchronizes with AirDefense's flagship product AirDefense Enterprise and its powerful correlation engines, enabling enterprises to conduct quick and accurate scans of nearby wireless activities and devices. AirDefense Mobile uses the list of all devices and alarms seen by AirDefense Enterprise to instantaneously know which devices are authorized and thereby enable the network administrator to quickly locate rogue devices.

Additionally, the integration with AirDefense Enterprise provides network administrators the ability to locate devices at remote locations and drill into the details on each discovered device. AirDefense Mobile provides diagnostic tools, signal interference measurement and other operational support tools, such as packet capture playback within the application to further ensure the security, performance and overall health of the wireless LAN. The analyzer also provides invaluable assistance in local troubleshooting.

"AirDefense Mobile allows us to perform security and performance audits to know exactly what is happening within our wireless domain enabling us to distinguish a rogue connected to the internal network from a benign one," said Bob Isaacs, a Booz Allen Hamilton security manager with the U.S. Army Forces Command (FORSCOM). "Because the data provided by Mobile is based on the intelligence of AirDefense Enterprise we can be assured we are addressing the most pressing security issues first."

AirDefense Mobile addresses the leading security vulnerability for enterprises from rogue devices. Without a wireless monitoring solution in place, organizations that have "no wireless" or "authorized-only" wireless policies have no meaningful way to accurately determine risks and enforce their security policy. AirDefense Mobile assists organizations in locating rogue access points and stations, identifying mis-configured devices and taking proactive steps to close any security holes as part of a WLAN policy compliance program.

The integration with AirDefense Enterprise provides administrators with a rogue threat index based on the threat assessment provided by AirDefense Enterprise to assist the administrator in pinpointing those rogues that present the highest level of threat to the security of their organization. This unique functionality separates the AirDefense security solution from other solutions that merely inundate the user with a flood of information alerts.

"Enterprises need a low cost method to efficiently protect the network and business assets from wireless risks," said Anil Khatod, president and CEO of AirDefense. "A single security breach can not only compromise the business but impact overall network performance. By delivering an integrated solution combining AirDefense Enterprise with AirDefense Mobile, network managers will have a truly synchronized view on the security of any location, and the entire enterprise, at any time."

Other features of AirDefense Mobile include location tracking, real-time reporting for record keeping and auditing purposes, and LiveView, which provides insight into network performance and traffic analysis. AirDefense Mobile offers packet capturing for troubleshooting and equips administrators to scan by protocol, channel and service set identifier (SSID) as well as detect ad-hoc networks.

AirDefense Mobile runs on any Windows 2000 or XP platform, and installs on any laptop with an Atheros-based 802.11 a/b/g wireless card, such as Netgear (WAG511) or Cisco (CB21AG).

AirDefense Mobile is immediately available at http://www.airdefense.net and retails for $995.
