What makes AirMagnet an Info Security "Hot Company" 2006
Products & Technologies
Products - AirMagnet Enterprise is the only vendor-independent wireless security solution to achieve FIPS 140-2 certification, making AirMagnet Enterprise a leading option for government and financial organizations that must protect highly sensitive information.
Integration - AirMagnet Enterprise fully integrates with the Cisco Wireless LAN Solution Engine (WLSE), enabling Cisco's Access Points (APs) to be used as scanners equipped with AirMagnet’s security functionality.
Compliance - AirMagnet Enterprise and AirMagnet Laptop Analyzer document compliance with federal regulations including Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX), Gramm-Leach Bliley (GLB), Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), DoD Directive 8100.2 and the payment card industry’s new data security standard (PCI DSS), co-authored by Visa and MasterCard
Intelligent - AirMagnet’s SmartEdge sensors are the industry’s only “intelligent” wireless sensors – performing complete wireless analysis at the edge rather than sending packets of data back to the central management server. Local analysis reduces bandwidth consumption by only sending relevant data through the network, allowing data transfers even during peak WLAN use.
Cutting-Edge Technology - AirMagnet Surveyor performs wireless site surveys that minimize the guesswork in WLAN set-up. The software generates detailed maps that help determine optimum access point (AP) placement for complete coverage and reduce signal interference. AirMagnet Surveyor also offers multi-floor site surveys that allow users to map an AP's signal and see how it affects floors above and below the AP.
Utilities - AirMagnet’s free BlueSweep utility tracks Bluetooth-enabled devices in a network and identifies Bluetooth-related security risks. AirMagnet BlueSweep lets users perform real-time audits of Bluetooth activity and potential vulnerabilities and also stores activity history for offline analysis.
