Newbury Networks Partners with Senforce Technologies for Comprehensive Wi-Fi Network and Endpoint Security Solution15 February 2006
Newbury Networks Inc., (http://www.newburynetworks.com) and Senforce Technologies(R), Inc. (http://www.senforce.com) today announced integration of Newbury's industry-first physical location-enabled wireless security with Senforce's industry-first location-aware endpoint and wireless security solution. The integration of Newbury's server-based WiFi Watchdog(TM) wireless intrusion prevention system (IPS) and Senforce's Endpoint Security Suite(TM) (ESS) provides enterprises with the most complete, defense-in-depth wireless LAN (WLAN) security solution on the market today. The combined solution enables organizations to centrally locate, manage and enforce all aspects of an enterprise Wi-Fi security policy-both on the enterprise network and on all other unmanaged networks.
WiFi Watchdog protects enterprise networks from wireless threats by enforcing physical perimeter security. Using Newbury's field-proven location technology, WiFi Watchdog determines in real time the precise physical location of every 802.11 device down to the thickness of a wall. WiFi Watchdog is the only system accurate enough to enforce physical location-based authentication and access control -- a true RF Firewall for wireless networks. WiFi Watchdog includes complete intrusion detection (IDS) along with rogue detection and containment, actively preventing unauthorized access to any 802.11 WLAN resources.
Tightly integrated with Senforce's best-of-breed ESS for securing all aspects of a mobile worker's device -- ports, interfaces, drives, removable media, applications and Wi-Fi cards -- with network location-aware security policy enforcement, this combined Wi-Fi security solution protects both the network and endpoints from wireless threats.
Senforce ESS is a single, integrated solution for complete endpoint security. Rather than deploying several 'point' products with non-integrated components and management consoles from multiple vendors, organizations use the modular design of ESS for flexible, tightly integrated endpoint security. ESS provides centralized management and policy definition, network location- aware policy enforcement, powerful reporting and strong audit controls for true round-the-clock endpoint security.
"The proliferation of Wi-Fi fuels the need to protect the security and enhance the efficiency of the global mobile workforce within the enterprise and government sectors," said Michael Maggio, president and CEO, Newbury Networks. "Our partnership with Senforce extends the perimeter of protection and location beyond the proximity of organizations facilities to wherever wireless users travel. Our combined solution brings together two best-in- class solutions to ensure that business processes are safe and secure while significantly improving employee productivity."
The integrated solution enforces security both inside and outside the enterprise:
* Combined server and endpoint detection, classification, and containment
of rogues
* Location correlated alerts for clients both within and away from
enterprise facilities
* Unified management of authorized, neighbor and rogue access points and
clients
* Two phase client protection against Wi-Phishing, Evil Twin, and Hot
Spotter attacks
"Better than any other endpoint security provider, Senforce understands the unique security requirements of the mobile worker, because our product was designed from the ground up to solve the mobile security problem," said Mike Hall, president and CEO, Senforce Technologies. "Combining Senforce's 'always and everywhere' network location-aware protection for endpoints with Newbury's advanced physical location-enabled wireless IPS gives the enterprise a complete Wi-Fi security management system -- with Newbury securing the wireless infrastructure and Senforce securing the endpoints. With both solutions in place, the wireless security management picture is more complete than with either technology alone."
