Fluke Networks Makes Dynamic Responses to Wireless Threats and True "No-Wireless" Zones Realities with New Capabilities in AirMagnet EnterpriseSANTA CLARA, Calif., Feb. 11, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Last year, hackers stole roughly 81.5 million records while carrying out more than 740 confirmed data breaches. Many of the attacks targeted household name brands, costing the global economy up to $575 billion annually*, and destroying consumer confidence—all while each company believed its data were secure. To combat this ever-growing threat, Fluke Networks today announced a major upgrade to its market-leading AirMagnet Enterprise wireless security solution. With timely dynamic threat updates, location tracking, and alerting of cellular or Wi-Fi devices, AirMagnet Enterprise is the first wireless intrusion detection and prevention (WIDS/WIPS) solution that enables enterprises and agencies to enforce a 24x7 "No-Wireless" zone. It also helps organizations meet stringent new PCI 3.0 compliance standards, includes a captive portal support for assuring guest wireless networks, and provides 802.11ac detection, location, and blocking of rogue devices.
As mobile data, mobile devices and security breaches continue their stratospheric climb, the ability to immediately identify all rogue wireless activities, regardless of network type, and enforce a "No-Wireless" zone is critical for organizations that deal with sensitive information and need to secure their vital data centers. AirMagnet Enterprise provides complete unified wireless (802.11a/b/g/n/ac) and cellular (3G, 4G LTE, CDMA) spectrum security across the entire wireless network infrastructure. David Coffin, CTO of Fluke Networks explains, "AME's improved event detection helps IT teams actively identify, locate and mitigate cellular and Wi-Fi security threats such as unauthorized cellular and Wi-Fi devices and jammers. It also enforces the implementation of a 'wireless free zone'. Security and network operations not only have to contend with the inherent dangers and performance impacts of BYOD on their networks, but also the very real risk of espionage, hacking and malicious attacks from inside or outside their corporate boundaries. AirMagnet Enterprise delivers powerful new security capabilities to help IT combat these evolving threats. "How to mitigate the consequences of "good enough" wireless protection
AirMagnet Enterprise also helps organizations that access, store or transmit cardholder data (CHD) and personally identifiable information (PII) by meeting the latest PCI 3.0 regulatory requirements for penetration testing, which went into effect on January 1, 2015. "As we've seen with recent attacks, companies risk long-term damage to their brand and reputation, as well as immediate lost productivity and revenue without thorough detection and mitigation of security threats," said Coffin. "AirMagnet Enterprise gives organizations the most comprehensive set of wireless security monitoring and protection tools available for IT and security professionals to protect their respective organizations and their customers. Wireless is impossible to see – AME makes our customers' wireless networks protected and visible to them."
