Wireless connectivity provides unique opportunities to communicate in new and powerful ways, but it also brings its own set of vulnerabilities, complexities and management challenges. To get the best out of your wireless network without risking security of your users and business, you need the right set of tools. Extreme AirDefense simplifies the protection, monitoring and compliance of your Wireless LAN networks. Extreme AirDefense continuously safeguards the network from external threats 24x7x365 and notifies IT staff when attacks occur, enabling an immediate response. It also enables compliance with regulations such as PCI-DSS, Sarbanes-Oxley, HIPAA, and GLBA. Wireless communication is designed for mobility. Unfortunately,the very feature that makes it so attractive also makes it incredibly challenging to troubleshoot. Users come and go, devices join and leave, interference sources are here one minute and gone the next. Keeping track of the myriad factors impacting network connectivity, utilization and availability is a challenging task. The historical data that kept by the forensics module provides a tool for troubleshooting incidents reported in the past that may not even be active any longer. The system gathers 300+ data points per minute for each identified wireless device including channel activity, signal characteristics, deviceactivity, and traffic flow. This dynamic database can be used to chart network usage trends, identify anomalies and support capacity planning. Extreme AirDefense can perform active monitoring of Bluetooth devices. This feature requires an access point model with built-in Bluetooth hardware.
