Network security solutions provider WatchGuard Technologies launches the Trusted Wireless Environment-- a framework allowing businesses and solution providers to build wifi services with "market-leading performance, scalable management and verified, comprehensive security capabilities."
According to the company, organisations with Trusted Wireless Environments can benefit from both performance and scalability, while ensuring protection against the most dangerous wifi attacks. Wifi networks are something of a low-hanging fruit for cybercriminals wanting to steal valuable information, since vendors and businesses tend to look at wifi security as an added benefit, not a primary feature.
A Miercom security assessment shows the WatchGuard cloud-based secure wifi solution is the only product on the market able to detect and prevent the 6 major types of security threats-- rogue access points, rogue clients, neighbouring APs, ad-hoc networks, evil twin APs (with spoofed SSIDs) and misconfigured APs-- in "just seconds" while maintaining performance.
VARs and MSPs can purchase Secure Wifi or Total Wifi packages now in order to start building Trusted Wireless Environments with WatchGuard secure wireless solutions.
