AirDefense Enterprise
ARCHITECTURE & TECHNOLOGIES
AirDefense uses collaborative intelligence with secure sensors that work in tandem with a hardened purpose-built server appliance to monitor all 802.11 (a/b/g) wireless traffic in real time for the highest level of security, rogue mitigation and policy enforcement.
TECHNOLOGIES
Network Correlation Engines
AirDefense correlates events across the network and its intrusion detection engines analyzing all activities with a complete, encompassing view of the airwaves. In most environments, more than one sensor may recognize the same access points and wireless devices. Threats and policy violations against these devices are correlated to provide accurate alerts and eliminate false positives. Multi-Dimensional Intrusion Detection Engines
Traditional intrusion detection systems are plagued by false alarms because they rely on a single detection technology – attack signatures. AirDefense’s Multi-Dimensional Detection Engine integrates multiple detection technologies to recognize all known and unknown threats. Security breaches are identified based on:
- Context-aware detection schemes
- Threat signature analysis
- Anomalous behavior
- Protocol assessment
- Policy compliance
ARCHITECTURE
Smart Sensors
The AirDefense smart sensors passively observe all wireless LAN traffic within 40,000 to 60,000 square feet of typical office space. The smart sensor analyzes the 802.11 frames and extracts meaningful data points to determine key attributes, such as total data transferred, direction of traffic etc. By preprocessing wireless LAN traffic, the smart sensors greatly reduce the need for bandwidth.

Server Appliance
As part of an AirDefense system, the server appliance is a true plug-and-play system with a hardened operating system, optimized database, automated database maintenance, and all application software included. As an appliance, AirDefense does not require an enterprise to buy, install, configure, lockdown, and support a server, operating system, and database. A true appliance comes ready with the application and all supporting software pre-loaded. View Appliance Models |
