AirDefense Wins Large Contract with BT to Secure its Wireless Airwaves.

AirDefense Enterprise Will Monitor Wireless Traffic and Enforce Security Policies for BT

ATLANTA -- AirDefense, the innovator that launched the wireless LAN security market, today announced it was awarded a large contract by BT to secure the company's wireless airwaves throughout several offices located in the United Kingdom (UK). BT has deployed AirDefense Enterprise in 15 of their 21 UK offices and is planning to roll out the solution in many other European locations in 2007.

"It is a delight to be working with AirDefense to ensure the highest levels of security for BT's mobile and agile workforce," said Ray Stanton, BT's global head business continuity, security and governance. "The evaluation and testing process was extremely rigorous and thorough and AirDefense was the clear cut winner. At BT we take security seriously and without AirDefense I wouldn't be convinced that we could lock down our wireless networks from outside intrusions."

BT was challenged with monitoring wireless traffic and enforcing corporate security policies across a highly mobile workforce accessing the network from multiple locations. AirDefense Enterprise allows BT to continuously monitor its WLAN by providing maximum security and operational integrity of the system. Deploying AirDefense has resulted in increased productivity in BT's workforce, compliance with internal security policies and an increased demand for wireless applications and continued expansion of the WLAN.

"We are thrilled BT has recognized the value of our award winning wireless security platform," said Mike Potts, president and CEO of AirDefense. "While wireless connectivity promises a number of unique benefits including flexibility and convenience, protecting corporate assets from unauthorized access remains the biggest challenge for global corporations. Today more than 700 blue chip corporations, government agencies and hospitals have turned to AirDefense because we offer the world's only end-to-end wireless intrusion prevention/detection platform."

AirDefense provides a complete suite of solutions that secure wireless networks and protect the extended mobile enterprise against all threats and attacks. AirDefense owns three fundamental patents that comprehensively cover all aspects of wireless intrusion prevention and currently has 21 additional patents pending that extend its intellectual property into broader areas such as security for emerging wireless networks, spectrum analysis and interference classification, performance troubleshooting, bandwidth optimization, forensic analysis and end-point wireless security.
