Next-generation split intelligence architecture proactively protects your wireless network, mobile devices and traffic from attacks and unauthorized access.
Motorola's Wireless Intrusion Protection System (IPS) is the choice for around-the-clock protection, guarding your 802.11a/b/g wireless network infrastructure, client devices and traffic from a wide variety of threats, and providing the monitoring capability to ensure peak WLAN performance every day. Attacks and unauthorized access to the network are reported in real time to enable immediate response to threats. Network vulnerabilities are also identified, enabling correction before potential security issues arise. And the latest technology innovations provide an architecture that is scalable, simple to deploy, and easy to upgrade; delivering outstanding investment protection and lowered overall cost of ownership to the customer.
A Comprehensive Wireless LAN Monitoring and Security Solution
Next-generation proactive wireless LAN (WLAN) protection
As enterprises become increasingly mobile and wireless networks more pervasive, security has become an increasing concern and is top of mind for IT organizations. IT staff are faced with the daily challenges of cost-effectively keeping wireless networks up and running peak at levels, preserving network integrity, and protecting digital assets from theft and misuse, all while complying with government and financial regulations such as Sarbanes-Oxley, HIPAA, and VISA-CISP. Motorola’s Wireless Intrusion Protection System (IPS) gives IT professionals the tools to continuously safeguard the network from external threats and the capability to monitor WLAN performance 24 hours a day. The system notifies IT staff when network vulnerabilities or attacks occur, enabling an immediate response. The software architecture is scalable, simple to deploy, easy to upgrade and delivers outstanding investment protection. Major features include:
- Rogue/intrusion detection: real-time detection of rogue devices on your 802.11 network
- Vulnerability assessment: identifies network weaknesses, such as misconfigurations on devices and weak encryption implementations
- Accurate locationing: quickly pinpoints any device on the network
- Policy enforcement: provides instant notification and response based on policy violations
- Rogue device termination: enables rapid response to attacks by allowing security administrators to terminate wireless rogue device connections
- Centralized management: a powerful user interface that is easy to use and customize for a variety of user levels
High performance architecture
Traditional intrusion protection systems rely on a distributed architecture with fat sensors that increase costs, or a centralized architecture where sensors forward all unprocessed data to the server resulting in high bandwidth utilization. The unique architecture of Motorola’s Wireless IPS provides the best of both worlds, splitting data analysis between sensor and server. Monitoring data is filtered by intelligent sensors, which identify and forward only essential security information to the server. Bandwidth requirements are minimized, providing scalability for distributed environments. The analysis of events is highly accurate due to the aggregation and correlation of critical information collected by the sensors, which is encrypted and securely transferred to the server. The result is a highly accurate, efficient and secure monitoring system.
Elimination of blind spots
Motorola’s dual-radio sensor technology eliminates blind spots and greatly increases the reliability of the Wireless IPS System. Blind spots occur due to the brief lapse in time when scanning occurs on other channels. Motorola’s ability to scan 802.11g and 802.11a channels simultaneously, as well as the capability for multiple sensors to participate in the termination of a wireless connection, virtually eliminates this vulnerability and increases your overall level of security.
Locationing
Locationing capabilities enable IT staff to quickly and accurately pinpoint the location of any device on the network and initiate security measures to neutralize threats.
Flexible deployment options
Wireless IPS leverages Motorola’s next generation wireless LAN architecture, delivering the flexibility to deploy Motorola’s either as a dedicated sensor to monitor network traffic or as an access port to carry 802.11a/b/g network traffic for Motorola’s Wireless Switches. Benefits include:
- Easy to upgrade and manage: a centralized detection engine eliminates the need to upgrade sensors individually — a single server upgrade provides new functionality and protection against the latest attacks and new threats.
- Scalable: simply add more AP300 sensors to provide enhanced coverage of existing areas or new coverage areas.
- True plug-and-play operation: designed for ease of use, traffic can be monitored within minutes of installation, complete with the tools to quickly interpret information for fast response to Wireless LAN threats.
- Standards-based implementation: fully interoperable with 802.11abg wireless LAN standard.
