Intermagnetics General Corporation Deploys Network Chemistry Solution to Secure Wireless Network and Confidential Data25 July 2006
Network Chemistry, the wireless security experts, announced today that Intermagnetics General Corporation (NASDAQ: IMGC) has deployed its RFprotect™ Distributed wireless intrusion detection and protection system to enable a secure wireless LAN rollout. The company has deployed the solution at its corporate headquarters and plans to quickly add systems in facilities in other locations including New York, California, Wisconsin, and Florida.
Intermagnetics, a successful developer, manufacturer, and marketer of superconducting materials, high-field magnets, medical systems and components, and other specialized high-value-added devices for 35 years, wanted to deploy a wireless network across the corporation to improve productivity. To do this successfully, the company required a wireless security solution that could provide a complete view into all wireless threats at its corporate and remote facilities, quickly identify rogue devices, and automatically take action to prevent attacks. In addition, Intermagnetics needed a system that its IT staff could easily set up and deploy and that could provide it with a level of security beyond that included in its existing wireless access points.
"We were looking for a wireless security solution that would provide the highest level of monitoring and prevention, while still being easy for us to implement and manage on an ongoing basis," said Tim Stowell, Corporate Network Manager at Intermagnetics. "We looked at the security that was offered as a bolt-on to our access points and reviewed a range of other vendors. Ultimately, we selected Network Chemistry because the RFprotect solution was the most secure, it could be quickly deployed in our various locations, it offered a low total cost of ownership, and the company provided excellent customer support."
Network Chemistry's patent-pending technology and RFprotect family of products provide a complete solution that seamlessly integrates with enterprise network, WLAN, and security systems. RFprotect Distributed is a 24/7 wireless monitoring and intrusion prevention system for protecting against wireless threats in and around enterprise facilities. RFprotect Scanner is a network-based vulnerability management solution focused on rogue wireless device detection and automated remediation and is the ideal solution for organizations that need to cost effectively enforce 'no wireless' policies. RFprotect Mobile is a portable laptop-based analyzer for automating site surveys, security assessments, and incident response. Finally, RFprotect Endpoint protects mobile devices on the road by actively enforcing policy to thwart threats and prohibit risky wireless configurations.
"By leveraging the RFprotect platform, Intermagnetics is now able to confidently move forward with the rollout of its wireless network, which will improve productivity and access to critical resources," said T. Paul Thomas, CEO at Network Chemistry. "The rapid expansion of wireless technology continues to drive requirements for protecting data, networks, and users, and Network Chemistry meets this need by providing the most secure, easy-to-use, and cost-effective wireless threat protection solutions."
