AirMagnet Enterprise v10

AirMagnet Enterprise is a centralized system that proactively protects WiFi networks and users from all types of threats, ensures maximum network performance and uptime and arms staff with the tools to solve problems quickly and remotely. AirMagnet Enterprise does this by going to the true source of WiFi threats and problems – the airspace itself.

The solution provides full-time automated analysis of all WiFi traffic, channels, devices, their connection state as well as optional spectrum analysis of non-WiFi devices and sources of interference. This full time view lets you get to the root-cause of any problem instead of just seeing the symptoms, while ensuring full visibility and control over the wireless boundary between your network assets and the outside world.

AirMagnet Enterprise takes action to defend the wireless environment by automatically blocking, tracing and mapping any threat in addition to an unmatched suite of event alerting, escalation, remote troubleshooting, forensic analysis, and professional PCI and compliance reporting. The end result is a unified system that keeps WiFi under your control – performing safely and meeting the needs of your users and applications.

Case Study: Nipissing University Ensures Wireless and Smart Device Connectivity and Security for Students and Faculty with Fluke Networks’ AirMagnet Enterprise

Click to View

Challenge:
Nipissing University's wireless network spans three campus locations and supports more than 4,500 students and more than 300 faculty and staff. It gives end-users Wi-Fi access to critical applications such as email, Internet and online curriculum materials in the classrooms and residence halls. As wireless expectations have grown and the network has been flooded with new smart devices and other wireless technology, the university's IT department has struggled to keep pace. The team constantly faces challenges around unpredictable access point traffic, rogue devices, interference, competing channel usage, the threat of malicious attacks, and even PCI compliance.

Results:
Nipissing University selected Fluke Networks' AirMagnet Enterprise to help manage and optimize wireless network performance and proactively protect against possible security vulnerabilities. The system allows the IT department to monitor performance in real-time to identify possible bottlenecks, ensure smart device connectivity, easily troubleshoot interference issues (including channel usage from other Wi-Fi networks), meet PCI compliance guidelines, quickly track rogue devices, and protect the network against possible attacks or misuse in the future.

Major Department Store Chain Uses AirMagnet Enterprise to Find Wi-Fi Threats “Hiding in Plain Sight”

Challenge:
This major department store chain was fearless with its use of wireless for business critical operations like credit card processing and managing inventory at distribution centers. Leadership was confident that their wireless intrusion detection and protection system (WIDS/WIPS) was protecting data shared across the 34 Wi-Fi channels available for use in the U.S., until they realized they lacked visibility into 180 additional unused channels on the network. This meant that unauthorized devices, whether malicious or not, could be hiding, undetected, on these additional channels, and could pose serious security risks to the organization and its customers.

Results:
The department store selected Fluke Networks' AirMagnet Enterprise for its unique ability to simultaneously monitor all activity and devices on all 214 Wi-Fi channels. This means that even channels that are not actively being used by the organization (outside of the 34 acceptable channels) can be monitored for rogue activity, and the IT team can be in a position to immediately take action to remove or reassign a device that could pose a threat. The company can also proactively troubleshoot performance problems, guarantee point-of-sale wireless transactions, meet PCI compliance guidelines to protect customers and the brand's equity, and reduce mean time to repair through the AirMagnet Enterprise's remote troubleshooting features.
