3Com AirProtect Sentry 5850

This wireless intrusion prevention system helps protect the network and users from unauthorised wireless access. Unsecure deployment of Wi-Fi Access Points (APs), or rogue APs, can open up a customer's network to potential hackers, exposing confidential information. Users connecting to incorrect APs - whether internal rogue ones, or those external to your network - may also lead to additional vulnerabilities. Traditional firewalls only monitor wired traffic and have no visibility into the wireless traffic that is flowing in the air. 3Com's AirProtect Sentry 5850 wireless sensor device continuously scans the airwaves and provides wireless intrusion prevention against any unauthorised Wi-Fi activities. It can also be used to disable all wireless access within a customer's premises, helping to enforce no wireless policies. This initial offering is focused on the remote office and SMB customer. The Sentry 5850 is managed via a Web GUI and does not require additional software.
