Monitor Vulnerabilities

WLS Manager, featuring AirPatrol’s revolutionary MapView™ technology, monitors the airwaves 24 x 7 to provide a live enterprise-wide view of network posture at a single glance. With the ability to detect and locate all authorized and unauthorized 802.11, RF and cellular devices with an accuracy of within three to five meters, WLS Manager enables enterprises to proactively identify potential threats and compliance issues.

Mitigate IT Risks

WLS Manager provides the actionable intelligence network administrators need to confidently manage wireless threats to wired and wireless networks. The solution can be used as an intrusion detection solution in no-wireless environments and easily scales to protect and manage wireless networks.

The instant a rogue device is detected, an automatic alert is sent. Alerts can be sent in multiple formats to multiple devices and alarm zones are configurable to eliminate false positives. Administrators receive all the intelligence they need to take immediate remedial action – including complete details of the intrusion event along with an image depicting the precise location of the offending device.

Control Access

Unlike hard-wired networks, airwaves are available to anyone with a wireless device (on a different floor, in the parking lot, or across the street), just as if they were seated at a desk in the office. Using AirPatrol's unique VirtualShield™ technology, WLS Manager enables network administrators to restrict access to wireless networks based on location – restoring the most fundamental concept of conventional network security. Administrators can easily create access zones using the intuitive MapView interface and drawing tools.

Improve Operational Efficiencies

To help businesses control costs and optimize use of resources, WLS Manager allows network administrators to quickly and effortlessly deploy and manage a Wireless Threat Management scheme. Wireless sensors can be piggybacked onto existing network infrastructure without dedicated cabling and switch ports. This approach dramatically simplifies setup and reduces the total deployment cost to less than a third of traditional approaches.

Once deployed, administrators can manage the entire wireless threat environment from a single easy-to-use console that concurrently displays all cellular, 802.11 and broadband radio devices. The visual real-time approach to security enables administrators to act quickly and remediate issues without time intensive analytical investigations. In addition, WLS Manager automatically adjusts to dynamic wireless environments without manual intervention – eliminating the extensive setup, ongoing recalibration requirements and inaccuracies of alternative solutions.

AirPatrol neutralizes wireless cyber security threats within secure facilities and enterprises. Unlike other wireless security providers, AirPatrol covers multiple wireless threat vectors with a single security solution. AirPatrol presents customers with an intuitive map showing the precise locations of Wi-Fi and Cell Phone activities within their secure areas. AirPatrol also enables customers to control how and when wireless peripherals are used on managed endpoints.
