Highwall Technologies Announces Break-Through Products for Wireless Intrusion Detection and Protection
Highwall Sentinel 1100 and Highwall Scout 2100/3100 Products Represent First of Its Kind for Enterprise-Class WLAN Intrusion Detection and Prevention.
Las Vegas, NV (PRWEB) May 2, 2005 -- Highwall Technologies, a leading
provider of wireless security and management products, today announced the
release of their next generation wireless sensor and antenna products. The newly
released products include the Highwall Sentinel 1100 and Highwall Scout 2100 and
3100. The Highwall Sentinel is the industry's only High-Range Wireless Sensor
and the Highwall Scout is the industry's only Phased-Array antenna built
specifically for over-the-air rogue detection, location analysis and wireless
intrusion detection.
The new products maintain the industry leading
range and coverage of previous versions, but now include the ability to
quarantine / shutdown unauthorized (or rogue) access point and clients, monitor
Bluetooth devices, and offer advanced intrusion prevention features such as a
wireless honey pot for luring malicious hackers that are war driving for an open
access point.
"The new product line upholds our promise to our customers
to offer the best-in-class Wireless Intrusion Detection and Prevention solution
in the market today", said Rich Swier, CEO of Highwall Technologies. "As the air
space becomes the preferred battle ground for hackers, Highwall products give
our customers the upper-hand, and will enable them to protect their networks
from all potential intrusions. These products are not merely a gradual
progression, but a leap of advancement in the fight for wireless
security."
Like the previous versions of Highwall products, the latest
Highwall Sentinel and Highwall Scout antennas monitor the airwaves to:
-
Identify different types of wireless devices, including laptops, PDAs, access
points
- Provide key attributes, including device class, manufacturer and
signal strength
- Illustrate communication or connectivity among various
devices and ad hoc networks
- Provide the highest, most scalable level of
wireless security on the market
The Highwall Sentinel 1100 and Highwall
Scout 2100/3100 are part of the Highwall Enterprise solution, which provides the
industry's smartest and most comprehensive wireless intrusion detection and
prevention system based on patent-pending technology. Highwall Enterprise
leverages the high-range sensor and phased-array antenna to monitor the airwaves
and communicate back to a central management server. The server consolidates and
analyzes the information to provide enterprise-wide views of all wireless
devices and activity.
Highwall Technologies' solutions integrate with CA
Wireless Site Management from Computer Associates International, Inc. (CA) to
provide a single point-of-control for wireless security and performance
optimization across the enterprise.
"Customers deploying Wi-Fi want to
ensure the integrity of their environments without devoting inordinate staff
resources to monitoring and control tasks," said Sumit Deshpande, Vice President
of Wireless Solutions at CA. "By combining Highwall Technologies' sensor
solutions with CA's Wireless Site Management, they can fulfill the twin goals of
security and operational efficiency."
The new products will be announced
