"Information privacy has always been a priority at Geisinger. As we introduce wireless technology to improve care, we will use AirDefense to ensure that this new technology does not reduce privacy. Rogue wireless devices and hackers are infiltrating many organizations; AirDefense will allow us to identify and eliminate these security threats the minute they enter our airspace.”

Bob Murcek, Geisinger Health System

"Synopsys evaluated the market for WLAN monitoring, including AP switching and scanning vendors, and quickly recognized the need for a dedicated sensor-based system with centralized policy monitoring and enforcement. Only AirDefense could provide this level of security and policy enforcement. Synopsys chose AirDefense for their robust intrusion detection engine that does not overwhelm you with false positives."

Van Nguyen, Director of Security, Synopsys

"For Carilion, rogue wireless LANs are a serious matter. AirDefense provides the peace of mind from knowing that we can identify and eliminate all unsanctioned wireless laptops, APs, ad hoc networks and application-specific wireless devices as they enter our airspace."

Greg Walton, Senior VP & CIO, Carilion Health System

"We were using a handheld tool for inventory of our wireless network. But when we looked to prevent patient data from leaking, we realized AirDefense was the only product that truly protects the enterprise on an ongoing basis and meets the stringent HIPAA requirements.

Mark Mollere, Senior Data Security Analyst, Methodist Hospital

"The upswing in the concern for wireless security is tremendous. During my service with the Air Force, I supported the Department of Defense and the intelligence community in a variety of space and information warfare activities. Now that I am advising companies in these areas, I make it a point to recommend a wireless policy and wireless security protection such as AirDefense offers."

Rick Larned, Air Force Brigadier General

"As a large customer of Cisco wireless infrastructure and AirDefense wireless IDS, we saw a significant benefit in bringing together the two products to build a more secure wireless network. The integration of these two major solutions should lower costs and improve security by enabling flexible deployment of IDS capability and will reduce the cost of deployment and on-going management as well as increase the level of security."

JD Fluckiger, Pacific Northwest National Laboratory

"AirDefense monitors the air and manages wireless devices. It immediately tells us if it finds a device that does not have encryption turned on."

Bob Hedglen, Manager of Information Services,
University of Pittsburgh Medical Center

"After completing an exhaustive search of wireless LAN security and management solutions, DeCA concluded that AirDefense offers the only enterprise-class solution for 24x7, real-time monitoring of the airwaves that scales to support a wireless LAN deployment with more than 1,000 access points around the globe. AirDefense provides the central management functionality that allows our IT staff to monitor and manage the entire wireless LAN from a single location”

"(AirDefense) enables us at any one time to graphically depict all over the world what access points are communicating with what (wireless workstations) -- whether there is unauthorized policy set on those devices, whether there are security or performance issues”

"We are a diverse environment and have many people who want to use their own access points. It's important for us to ... set them up so they comply with the policies.”

"We found AirDefense to be the most robust WLAN intrusion detection system. It is easily deployed and has excellent management functionality to constantly monitor field site wireless LANs from our headquarters.”
