Wireless network analysers: detect and alert users to intrusions

November 2007 Fieldbus & Industrial Networking

Concilium Technologies has introduced the latest version of AirMagnet's wireless security and performance troubleshooting solution, the Laptop Analyzer, to the local market.

The solution provides a management and security facility for Wi-Fi networks which automatically detects and alerts the user to wireless intrusions, infiltration attempts and hijacking strategies.

Supporting the Laptop Analyzer is the AirWISE engine which provides wireless professionals with the ability to monitor their network performance and security in one device, thereby allowing them to immediately troubleshoot their network with professional advice. The engine allows the user to seek out and disable unwanted or rogue wireless devices which interfere with their network security and performance.

"The AirMagnet is not vendor specific and it therefore accommodates almost all providers out there. It is very easy to use and is intuitive," says Andrew Lees, the internal sales team leader at Concilium Technologies.

AirWISE features include:

* Automatic detection of the root-cause of many Wi-Fi issues.

* Elimination of the need for users to manually interpret complex packet decodes and wireless data by taking the proactive role of identifying and explaining more than 130 threats and performance issues before they impact the network.

* Alarm explanation in straightforward detail, with access to additional diagnostic data, and advice on corrective actions.

"You will find that you do not have to wade through a series of menus to find what you are looking for, making the AirMagnet Laptop Analyzer engine more user-friendly and results driven," says Lees.
