AirDefense and Trapeze Partner to Eliminate Wireless Risks; Integrated Solution Provides Protection from Security Breaches.ATLANTA -- AirDefense, the leader in anywhere, anytime wireless security and monitoring, today announced the integration of its industry-leading AirDefense Enterprise wireless intrusion detection system This article is about the computing term. For other uses, see Burglar alarm. An intrusion detection system (IDS) generally detects unwanted manipulations of computer systems, mainly through the Internet. (IDS) and intrusion protection system (IPS) with Trapeze Networks, Inc.'s 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 Mobility System. The new integrated security solution will provide customers with a single, integrated view of their wireless network, decreasing operation costs and accelerating the speed of WLAN See wireless LAN. WLAN - wireless local area network deployments. This partnership also helps mitigate one of the biggest hurdles to widespread wireless adoption by businesses and large organizations--potential security risks. "These new capabilities offer customers the ultimate in intrusion protection, fully integrated with the Trapeze Mobility System. Automated management, event correlation Event Correlation is the processes involved with reducing a large number of incident alerts to a much smaller, more manageable number within automated monitoring and incident/problem management in a Support Management System. , compliance monitoring and advanced analytical tools make it easy to manage and secure networks at scale. That's a compelling combination," said Jim Vogt, 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. of Trapeze. The AirDefense wireless protection system integrated with Trapeze offers many benefits to network and security managers. Trapeze Access Points will now act as sensors to provide monitoring data to AirDefense Enterprise servers, broadening the reach of the network's security. The integration also reduces deployment and operational support cost through automated synchronization of authorized wireless devices between AirDefense Enterprise and Trapeze. The partnership also enhances network control, management and security through correlation of monitoring and event data shared between Trapeze and the AirDefense Enterprise server. "The partnership allows Trapeze customers to manage issues as simple as modifying network security policy or as complex as quarantining stations that have been phished to an attacker's laptop" said Anil Khatod, CEO and president of AirDefense. "The value of the AirDefense integration will accelerate deployment of WLANs and provide best-in-class full-time wireless security and performance management for Trapeze customers." 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.
