AirDefense Congratulates Lockheed Martin on
2005 Network World Enterprise All-Star Award

ATLANTA, December 13, 2005 – AirDefense, the innovator that launched the wireless LAN security market, congratulates Lockheed Martin Aeronautics Company on being named a 2005 Network World Enterprise All-Star. Lockheed Martin was credited with deploying its wireless LAN across 150 buildings, spread over three states with hundreds of contractors and 30,000 employees. Lockheed uses AirDefense Enterprise as the security backbone that enables the company to monitor its airwaves 24/7.

The Network World Enterprise All-Star Awards recognize exceptional use of network technology to further business objectives of organizations across a range of industry segments, including education, financial services and healthcare. For the 2005 award, 50 enterprise IT organizations representing the best, most innovative applications of network technology were selected.

Lockheed Martin began working with AirDefense after security officers realized they needed to eliminate unauthorized wireless networks from the company’s air domain yet keep legitimate access points compliant with the company’s wireless security policies. With many employees and contractors touting wireless-enabled laptops, Lockheed Martin knew it also was imperative to centralize access point management for real-time alerts on security breaches and policy violations.

“Lockheed Martin is a perfect example of an enterprise that is taking full advantage of wireless technologies to more efficiently manage mission-critical business,” according to Anil Khatod, president and CEO of AirDefense.
