Xirrus takes extraordinary security precautions against a variety of threats faced by WLAN and VoWLAN environments. By aggressively implementing a number of precautions including intrusion prevention, Xirrus has implemented a WLAN security program sure to safeguard any Xirrus product against the threats a wireless LAN faces.

WLAN Security & Intrusion Prevention

Xirrus provides the Xirrus Defense Module (XDM) for IDS/IPS to deliver a WLAN security system designed specifically to protect the channels of a wireless network. By offering a variety of features proven to effectively stifle any threats to the WLAN or VoWLAN, enterprises can confidently and safely complete daily business tasks. By offering the following WLAN security services through the XDM, Xirrus has made it possible for enterprises to continue doing business with assurance that their wireless network is secure and consistently offers intrusion prevention:

• Prevention of illegitimate access points, users, clients, and associations

• Detection and prevention of rogue users

• Constant Wi-Fi surveillance

• Consistent intrusion prevention

Xirrus has the WLAN security system that provides enterprise customers with the intrusion prevention necessary to connect their employees and transmit information safely and securely. By speaking with one of our expert Authorized Xirrus Solution Providers, you can discuss how your enterprise can experience the most benefits of a Xirrus WLAN solution and the highest available level of WLAN security.

 

Enterprise-Grade WLAN Security for your Wireless LAN

With the consistent move toward wireless LAN networking, companies not only look for Wi-Fi equipment that achieves their capacity goals, but also provides them with simple wireless LAN setup and installation, easy to run WLAN equipment, and of course, WLAN security they can count on day after day. Furthermore, with the vast range performance capabilities, wireless LAN access point functionality, and the use of all non-overlapping channels, Xirrus has also enhanced their Wi-Fi Arrays, Management Platforms, and Remote Power Systems to achieve outstanding WLAN security and intrusion protection for the enterprise.

WLAN Security Features

To ensure Xirrus customers are provided with the most concrete form of WLAN security, all Wi-Fi Arrays are equipped with features proven to provide intrusion protection for wireless LANs. Intrusion protection is extremely important when working with wireless LAN access point functionality and Xirrus is devoted to providing advanced WLAN security. By employing top of the line technology in WLAN security and intrusion protection, Xirrus is making rogue invasion virtually impossible.

• SSHv2 and SNMPv3 - administrative account privileges and system management protection systems

• Wireless Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) and Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP) encryption hardware and IEEE 802.1x authentication hardware

• Mounting bracket available for the Wi-Fi Array and can be mechanically locked using a cable lock;

• Dependable wireless RF "sniffer" intrusion protection and threat observation system.

By embedding WLAN security systems that provide a built-in RF monitoring "sniffer", the wireless LAN is protected by continual scanning for any rogue wireless LAN access point. Where some sniffer programs time share between monitoring the RF environment and serving wireless clients, the Xirrus built-in RF monitoring system is designed for intrusion prevention and will not provide standard client services unless told to do so by the system administrator.

In the past, wireless systems have been vulnerable and were subject to a variety of threats including unauthorized intrusions by any rogue wireless LAN access point. With improved WLAN security systems and enhanced technology, Xirrus provides top of the line intrusion protection and defense for your enterprise's wireless LAN. The employment of Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP) removes the predictability associated with the use of Wireless Equivalent Privacy (WEP). With the installment of this WLAN security encryption mechanism, rogue intruders are offered over 500 trillion possible keys to decode when attempting penetration into a wireless LAN system. This overwhelming encryption protection makes sending of information over the air very secure and virtually impossible to decode.

Enhancing WLAN Security Through Administrative Control

While all of these intrusion prevention tools are extremely important when considering the protection and security of your network, Xirrus provides additional services which also enhance the quality and performance of a Wi-Fi network. To receive further solution or purchase information, please talk to one of our Authorized Xirrus Solution Providers about Xirrus WLAN or VoWLAN systems.
