AirDefense Secures Wireless LANs for
Government Agencies with 24x7 Monitoring
Leader of WLAN Rogue Detection, Intrusion
Detection & Policy Enforcement
Listed on GSA Schedule through Partnership with DigitalNet Government
Solutions
ATLANTA & HERNDON, Va. - May 19, 2003 - AirDefense Inc.,
the leader of 24x7 monitoring of wireless LANs, today announced
that it has been added to the General Services Administration
schedule contract through its partnership with DigitalNet Government
Solutions.
As part of DigitalNet's GSA schedule, AirDefense has been rigorously
tested and evaluated against government contracting requirements
and is now available on a contract basis to all government entities.
"AirDefense is now positioned to secure government wireless
LANs and protect highly sensitive wired networks with real-time
detection of all rogue wireless access points, stations and devices,"
said Jay Chaudhry, chairman and CEO of AirDefense. "For almost
a year, several government agencies have been deploying AirDefense
for the highest level of WLAN security and operational support
that can only be provided with 24x7 monitoring of the airwaves."
AirDefense solutions consist of distributed sensors and server
appliances. The remote sensors sit near 802.11 access points or
areas with a no-wireless policy to monitor all wireless LAN activities
24x7 and communicate with the server appliance, which analyzes
the traffic in real time to identify rogue wireless LANs, detect
intruders and attacks, enforce network security policies, deflect
intruders from the network and monitor the health of the wireless
LAN.
"As AirDefense's first government reseller, DigitalNet is seeing
strong traction for AirDefense from the federal government," DigitalNet
Vice President Bob Martin said. "After deploying AirDefense internally
and for government agencies, DigitalNet added AirDefense to its
GSA schedule to streamline and facilitate the purchasing process."
