Wireless LAN (WLAN) is the future of enterprise networks. Once considered a luxury reserved for conference rooms and engineering labs, WLANs have evolved into a business-critical networking infrastructure for enterprises, delivering mobile data, voice and video applications. As WLAN deployments increase, so does the challenge to provide these networks with security. Because the medium for wireless is air, WLANs have the added issue of securing data that travels the airwaves.
With the proliferation of WLANs, there is a very high probability of unauthorized WLAN devices showing up on an enterprise’s network. Any unauthorized wireless device that connects to an enterprise’s authorized network or device is defined as a rogue wireless device. Stealthy rogue devices (MAC spoofing, Wknock, Cron AP, AP on alternate channels/bands etc.) pose one of the greatest risks to an enterprise’s network security. They can behave like a master key to your offices – a single rogue access point can give an attacker full access to your internal network, bypassing traditional wired network security controls such as firewalls and perimeter protection.
Attend this complimentary webcast hosted by Motorola AirDefense Solutions featuring Forrester Research's Andre Kindness where they discuss the risks created by different types of rogue devices and revolutionary new techniques to detect and eliminate them. Join this webcast to learn how to control your risk of exposure and ensure that you have all the tools you need to keep your organizations rogue-free & completely secure. |
