Vendors tout WLAN security advances

摘要

Two wireless LAN security vendors this month separately announced streamlined versions of their software. Senforce's Wi-Fi Security is a less-expensive subset of the company's Endpoint Security Suite. The new offering downloads an agent to mobile or desktop clients and enforces centrally created security policies. Meanwhile, AirDefense pulled from its server-based wireless intrusion-prevention product several components that now can be deployed on a wireless laptop to monitor radio traffic and pinpoint WLAN clients and access points. The new product is called AirDefense Mobile.
