Three Steps for Bullet-proof WLAN Security

1. Secure wireless LAN devices
   - Firewalls are issued on each individual computer, passwords are changed from default settings to gain access to network.
2. Secure communications
   - Authentication and encryption.
3. Monitoring for security and compliance
   - This needs to be done 24/7 to ensure the WLAN is not compromised.

The AirDefense Solution by Motorola combines the centralised management of wired-side scanners and radio frequency analysis of wireless scanners. AirDefense also includes a distributed arrangement of remote sensors to monitor the airwaves for all WLAN activity and report to a centrally managed server appliance. This provides 24/7 monitoring to provide 100% coverage against rogue WLANs the minute they are connected to the network or enter the coverage area. This is a scalable and cost effective solution that enables enterprise WLAN detection throughout multiple locations of an organisation.
