Wireless Networks

Mobility empowers the enterprise workforce. But it also introduces new risks to network security. Our wireless networking solutions give you the ability to remotely connect to, monitor, and control your equipment over a network or the Internet. In addition to protecting your investment in existing equipment, a wireless networking solution provides an entirely new level of flexibility and mobility, and enables you to network devices that are inaccessible via cabling.

Wireless Site Surveys

Having a third-party perform a site survey can ensure a successful deployment. The site survey can provide a roadmap for designing the optimal wireless network, identify potential interference and coverage issues, and propose solutions to remediate any difficulties. The ultimate goal of a wireless site survey is to determine the number and placement of access points (or mesh nodes) that provides adequate signal coverage throughout a facility or city area. Without a survey, users will probably end up with inadequate coverage and suffer from low performance in some areas.

Wireless Intrusion Detection

Wireless local area networks are subject to a variety of threats. Threats to wireless local area networks (WLANs) are numerous and potentially devastating. Security issues ranging from misconfigured wireless access points (WAPs) to session hijacking to Denial of Service (DoS) can plague a WLAN. A wireless intrusion detection system (WIDS) monitors the radio spectrum for the presence of unauthorized, rogue access points and the use of wireless attack tools.

Wireless Bridge / Mesh Design and Installation

We have the experience and knowledge to recommend the right wireless solution for any application and the qualified technicians to ensure our customers get a quality installation the first time every time. While traditional networks rely on a small number of wired access points or wireless hotspots to connect users, a wireless mesh network spreads a network connection among dozens or even hundreds of wireless mesh nodes that "talk" to each other, sharing the network connection across a large area. Wireless Mesh is also extremely convenient where wall connections may be lacking, such as in outdoor environments, warehouses or transportation settings.

Mobile Device Access Control

In order to prevent unauthorized access to the device and the data it contains, access control is necessary, of course, and you can identify users by means of passwords, tokens and so on. Mobile devices have wireless capability to connect to the Internet and office/home computer systems. Wireless capability poses a number of specific security risks in addition to typical network associated risks. Mobile Device Management is used to manage and secure mobile devices. These mobile data management features give enterprises comprehensive control over corporate data across the full range of end-user devices.

Mobile Devices and BYOD

To successfully embrace BYOD, organizations need to evaluate the current environment, prepare infrastructure for participation, educate both users and IT on the BYOD model, and develop a plan to properly support BYOD. With the consumerization of mobility, many enterprises are turning to Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) programs, or a hybrid approach including deployed corporate-owned devices and a BYOD program. Securing employee-owned devices and supporting different mobile platforms, however, can create complex issues for IT departments. From a single policy and AAA platform, contextual data is leveraged across the network to ensure that users and devices are granted the right access privileges.

Access Management

Policy Management

Wireless Policy Management defines a series of procedures that need to be adhered to for all matters relating to wireless activity, including health and safety, day to day operations, security and approvals processes. Policy Management gives administrators unprecedented flexibility and control over mobile productivity and security. Administrators can create custom policies to manage access to network resources. Conditions and actions can be combined to help control bandwidth usage, and user experience according to your organization’s security policies.

Device Onboarding

The proliferation of personal smart devices and the BYOD trend is causing new security concerns for enterprise network and data security. As companies transition to a BYOD environment, IT departments have to make some major adjustments along the way. Deploying client certificates (EAP-TLS) is one way in which corporations and education institutions choose to deploy secure wireless. Issuing individual device certificates helps eliminate common issues surrounding password change policies and allows IT staff to differentiate access and policies between device types, ownership, and more.

Visitor management

Organizations frequently need to provision guest access to their internal networks and the Internet via their wireless networks without compromising security. Different guests need to be allocated different access privileges for different time periods. They need to be informed of their access credentials. Privileges need to expire automatically, and may need to be extended or revoked. Acceptable Use Policy needs to be presented, accepted and enforced. All in all the process of guest administration can be complex time consuming and costly. Often, inappropriately, it becomes a network administration task.

Self-registration and sponsor involved options ensure credentials and pre-authorized access privileges are enforced for short-term and long-term guests, without putting a heavy burden on IT, receptionists and staff.

Security

Network Security

Controlling how and where data is stored and shared is critical to business success.
With our Network Security solutions, you can:

i. Control the traffic on your local or wide area networks to better manage and protect your data.
ii. Secure remote access for your mobile workforce.
iii. Protect against a range of network security threats to critical financial, customer, and employee data.

Firewalls

Too little security can be worse than no security at all. Firewall security services can play an important role in helping you comply with state, federal and industry regulations that impact your company. Locations with their own dedicated Internet connections must have security policies that are enforced and managed by your IT department. A reliable network firewall will help a company keep unauthorized visitors from accessing valuable business resources.

Encryption

Few organizations today have access to truly private and secure networks; instead, they share network infrastructure with other organizations. As a result, information traveling over these public or virtual private networks is often vulnerable to interception. Network encryption guards against regulated data inadvertently being sent in the clear and also provides valuable protection for all other classes of data that perhaps do not justify dedicated protection but nonetheless are still considered sensitive.
