Protect your airwaves

The push to enterprise wireless LANS is inevitable. However, WLANS are inherently more vulnerable to external hacker attacks, even with a VPN. That’s why the RFprotect Distributed Wireless Intrusion Protection System is indispensable. It’s a complete security monitoring solution that protects your information assets from current and emerging wireless threats.

This wireless rogue protection system from JDS Uniphase, formerly Acterna, is available locally from Comtest, who was recently appointed sole representative for this range in southern Africa.

RFprotect secures the enterprise from all types of wireless rogues. Beyond rogue AP detection, the system identifies and assesses the threat level of rogue clients, neighbouring WLANS, ad hoc networks and software APs. Use RFshield technology to actively block high-risk rogues.

RFprotect scans for suspicious activities across your entire geography, reporting attacks so you can respond before damage is done. Use the software’s detection, locationing and mapping functions to quickly hunt down malicious devices.

Best practice WLAN security policies reduce vulnerabilities that hackers can exploit. RFprotect tells you when security policy is violated. Its integral relational database and reporting engine automates the pass/fail validation of custom or industry security policies.

RFprotect provides real-time updates of who’s using your WLAN. See all the access points and clients around your physical infrastructure – who’s associating to who and what’s being sent over the WLAN.

When network problems are suspected, use RFprotect to drill down on any AP or client. Launch advanced diagnostics to troubleshoot using per station details, RF environmental analysis and full 7-layer traffic analysis.
