WLAN Vendors Must Get WIPS SmartPublished by: Yankee Group Published: Jan. 1, 2008 Table of Contents
AbstractWLAN vendors must augment the intrusion detection and prevention capabilities in their infrastructure products as Wi-Fi networks become widespread and WLANs become more of a target for hackers.Ubiquitous WLAN access makes enterprise workers more productive and allows IT to migrate networked applications to the cheapest, most available Layer 1 transport medium: open air. However, hacker hobbyists and network-savvy criminals now regard 802.11 technology as juicy a target as Microsoft Windows or Internet Explorer for executing data and identity theft schemes. Standalone WLAN intrusion prevention systems (WIPS) from pure-play vendors have filled in the gaps of what a WLAN infrastructure can do to protect itself (see Exhibit 1). As organizations face new security challenges as a result of ubiquitous Wi-Fi, WLAN vendors must better integrate WIDS features and management into larger enterprise WLAN and wired network infrastructure. Pure-play WIDS vendors must acquire or become more tightly aligned with WLAN vendors during the next 3 to 5 years. Get Full Details About This Report >> |
