AirPatrol Launches Next-Generation Mobile & Wireless Threat Detection & Management Product

AirPatrol’s Wireless Locator System now Includes Industry’s First Capability to Record and Archive 802.11 WLAN Device and Cellular Device Wireless Threat Information

AirPatrol Corporation, a leading mobile and wireless threat management solutions company, today launched the AirPatrol Wireless Locator System 3.0 (WLS). WLS 3.0 is the only wireless intrusion detection system which allows security administrators to manage both 802.11 WLAN Device and Cellular Device security with a single system. WLS 3.0 precisely detects, locates and characterizes 802.11 WLAN and cellular devices within security administrators’ areas of interest on a 24 x 7 basis, including cellular broadband devices and smart phones. The system also includes a wide range of automated alert functions to notify security administrators when wireless security events occur.

WLS 3.0 features a new Forensic Database plug-in that records and archives both 802.11 WLAN device and cellular device event information. The WLS Forensic Database gives security administrators the ability to revisit wireless threat events that occurred hours, days or months ago. Security administrators can review detailed wireless threat information such as:
Precise locations of cellular devices and 802.11 WLAN devices within the monitored area.
Start times and stop times of cellular device events (e.g. voice calls, emails, SMS text messages) and 802.11 WLAN device events.
MAC addresses, SSIDs and association states of 802.11 WLAN devices.
Transmit frequencies and cellular protocol type for cellular devices.

Collected security data can be used directly or can be correlated with other security data such as video surveillance, identity management and physical access control information to provide a full understanding of security incidents.

Implemented using the HTTPS protocol, the WLS Forensic Database satisfies a wide range of user scenarios, including secure remote access from across the Internet. Its flexible architecture gives security administrators secure access to historical security data and enables them to configure the WLS server using Microsoft’s™ Internet Explorer Web browser. The historical playback functionality allows users to track 802.11 WLAN and cellular activity from a previous date and time on a graphical floor plan, enabling centralized review of data from multiple geographically dispersed locations. Remote configuration of WLS parameters, including alerts and reporting settings for the WLS application, is also available through the Web browser, yielding centralized management of database functions.

“With billions of wireless devices being used in the world, the threat of wireless intrusions and data leakage from information systems is significant and growing. Heightened security requirements within the government, financial services, banking, retail and healthcare industries means organizations can no longer rely on conventional means to protect propriety information,” said Ozzie Diaz, CEO, AirPatrol Corporation. “AirPatrol’s Wireless Locator System mitigates the widespread threats associated with wireless laptops, access points, cellular broadband, smart phones and other cellular devices by giving security administrators a clear view of wireless activities within their enterprise.”
