Wireless Intrusion Prevention System
OVERVIEW
The 3Com
®
AirProtect Sentry 5850 Wireless Intrusion Prevention
System helps protect your network and users from unauthorized
wireless access.
Unsecure deployment of Wi-Fi Access Points (APs), or rogue APs, can
open up your network to potential hackers, exposing confidential
information about your business, customers, products and services.
And users connecting to incorrect APs, whether internal rogue ones, or
those external to your network, may lead to additional vulnerabilities.
It can also be used to disable all wireless access within your premises,
helping to enforce "no wireless" policies.
KEY BENEFITS
PROTECT CONFIDENTIAL BUSINESS INFORMATION
Confidential information about your business and customers can be
exposed through insecure APs—rogue and misconfigured—and when
employees connect to incorrect ones, such as those in close proximity
to your business but not under your control (for example, the coffee
shop next door). The 3Com AirProtect Sentry 5850 Wireless Intrusion
Prevention System controls access to all these devices, helping to protect
your information.
COMPLETE THE NETWORK DEFENSES
Traditional firewalls only monitor wired traffic and have no visibility
into the wireless traffic that is flowing in the air. The AirProtect Sentry
5850 is a wireless sensor device, which continuously scans the airwaves
and provides wireless intrusion prevention against any unauthorized
Wi-Fi activities.
DEPLOY IN JUST MINUTES WITH SIMPLE WEB INTERFACE
The 3Com AirProtect Sentry 5850 Wireless Intrusion Prevention System
can be set up in less than 15 minutes. A simple web interface guides
you through the appropriate steps to quickly enable defense of your
wireless network.
