VeriSign Delivers Managed Security for WLANs

VeriSign this week delivered a new wireless intrusion prevention product that aims to deliver wireless security as a service.

The new offering, called the VeriSign Wireless Intrusion Prevention Service (IPS), is built on AirMagnet's Enterprise software, which provides tools to set up, secure and manage enterprise wireless networks.

With the service, every enterprise WLAN is monitored 24/7 for optimal performance and availability, and a suite of active tools allows managers to troubleshoot problems remotely. Users receive reports that document all events, as well as automated audits of the wireless network for compliance with IT policies.VeriSign Wireless IPS is designed to help customers design, deploy, manage and monitor wireless IPSs. By combining AirMagnet technology with VeriSign Teraguard, companies can also integrate IPS for both wireless and wired networks.
