Wi-Fi Network Intrusion Prevention System and Endpoint Security Leaders Team
to Deliver Integrated Solution for Comprehensive WLAN Perimeter Security
RSA Security Conference, SAN JOSE, Calif., Feb. 14 /PRNewswire/ --
Newbury Networks Inc., (http://www.newburynetworks.com) and Senforce
Technologies(R), Inc. (http://www.senforce.com) today announced integration of
Newbury's industry-first physical location-enabled wireless security with
Senforce's industry-first location-aware endpoint and wireless security
solution. The integration of Newbury's server-based WiFi Watchdog(TM) wireless
intrusion prevention system (IPS) and Senforce's Endpoint Security Suite(TM)
(ESS) provides enterprises with the most complete, defense-in-depth wireless
LAN (WLAN) security solution on the market today. The combined solution
enables organizations to centrally locate, manage and enforce all aspects of
an enterprise Wi-Fi security policy-both on the enterprise network and on all
other unmanaged networks.
WiFi Watchdog protects enterprise networks from wireless threats by
enforcing physical perimeter security. Using Newbury's field-proven location
technology, WiFi Watchdog determines in real time the precise physical
location of every 802.11 device down to the thickness of a wall. WiFi Watchdog
is the only system accurate enough to enforce physical location-based
authentication and access control -- a true RF Firewall for wireless networks.
WiFi Watchdog includes complete intrusion detection (IDS) along with rogue
detection and containment, actively preventing unauthorized access to any
802.11 WLAN resources.
Tightly integrated with Senforce's best-of-breed ESS for securing all
aspects of a mobile worker's device -- ports, interfaces, drives, removable
media, applications and Wi-Fi cards -- with network location-aware security
policy enforcement, this combined Wi-Fi security solution protects both the
network and endpoints from wireless threats.
Senforce ESS is a single, integrated solution for complete endpoint
security. Rather than deploying several 'point' products with non-integrated
components and management consoles from multiple vendors, organizations use
the modular design of ESS for flexible, tightly integrated endpoint security.
ESS provides centralized management and policy definition, network location-
aware policy enforcement, powerful reporting and strong audit controls for
true round-the-clock endpoint security.
"The proliferation of Wi-Fi fuels the need to protect the security and
enhance the efficiency of the global mobile workforce within the enterprise
and government sectors," said Michael Maggio, president and CEO, Newbury
Networks. "Our partnership with Senforce extends the perimeter of protection
and location beyond the proximity of organizations facilities to wherever
wireless users travel. Our combined solution brings together two best-in-
class solutions to ensure that business processes are safe and secure while
significantly improving employee productivity."
The integrated solution enforces security both inside and outside the
enterprise:
* Combined server and endpoint detection, classification, and containment
of rogues
* Location correlated alerts for clients both within and away from
enterprise facilities
* Unified management of authorized, neighbor and rogue access points and
clients
* Two phase client protection against Wi-Phishing, Evil Twin, and Hot
Spotter attacks
"Better than any other endpoint security provider, Senforce understands
the unique security requirements of the mobile worker, because our product was
designed from the ground up to solve the mobile security problem," said Mike
Hall, president and CEO, Senforce Technologies. "Combining Senforce's 'always
and everywhere' network location-aware protection for endpoints with Newbury's
advanced physical location-enabled wireless IPS gives the enterprise a
complete Wi-Fi security management system -- with Newbury securing the
wireless infrastructure and Senforce securing the endpoints. With both
solutions in place, the wireless security management picture is more complete
than with either technology alone."
