Enterprises now have a Secure Wireless Solution that Combines Wi-Fi Switching
And Two-Factor Authentication
SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 23 /PRNewswire/ -- RSA Conference And Exhibition --
Aruba Wireless Networks today announced that its wireless LAN switching system
has received certification from RSA Security Inc. in order to provide
enterprises with a trusted identity and access management solution between
Aruba's Wi-Fi switches and the RSA SecurID(R) two-factor authentication
solution. Aruba now becomes a part of the RSA Secured(R) Partner Program.
The two companies will work together to help enterprises achieve the most
comprehensive wireless LAN security coupled with enhanced client
authentication.
Because Wi-Fi networks leverage unlicensed radio frequency bands available
to anyone, security has become nothing less than a strategic imperative for
enterprises deploying Wi-Fi networks. Companies must feel confident that
vital information and applications remain secure, both inside and outside
their operations. The strategic partnership between Aruba Wireless Networks
and RSA Security helps enterprises build scalable and secure wireless
networks.
As part of the RSA Secured Partner Program, Aruba's family of Wi-Fi
switches has been awarded RSA SecurID Ready certification, verifying its
interoperability with RSA Security's authentication technology. The RSA
Secured certification lets organizations know that a powerful strategic
partnership has been created that leverages market-leading security products
and technologies in order to meet the needs of an effective enterprise
security strategy.
Aruba Wireless Networks innovated centralized wireless security and
pioneered the concept of wireless LAN switching. Its Wi-Fi switching system
delivers comprehensive security that provides physical (RF) layer security,
data encryption, virtual private networks and stateful user firewalls that
protects users from other users. By achieving RSA SecurID Ready certification,
Aruba enables its enterprise and service provider customers to extend their
security model to provide RSA Security's two-factor authentication solution.
"Many of our customers want integrated support for two-factor
authentication," said Keerti Melkote, co-founder and vice president of
Marketing for Aruba Wireless Networks. "We are in a strong position to provide
support for the RSA SecurID solution obviating the need for users to
continually reauthenticate to the network when they move."
"The RSA Secured Partner Program is the strongest in the industry, and we
are pleased to add Aruba Wireless Networks to the growing list of companies
that understand how important it is to choose strategic partners and
technologies that can deliver strong security," said Stuart Cohen, director of
Partner Development at RSA Security.
