How Sensitive Is The Data On The Wireless LAN? What Vulnerabilities
Do You Need To Guard Against?
World class network security can only come
from a world class supplier: Thales is the leader in trusted
network security solutions. That is why many of the world’s governments, large corporations,
and financial institutions rely on us to safeguard their networks.
Thales’ standards-based technologies are among the most
robust and secure available.
Security Is Not An Option – It Is A Must! In an era when
the use of wireless applications to connect discrete local area
networks within a building or campus environment are of very
particular interest to customers, the Thales Datacryptor® AP
can be employed to address the vulnerabilities inherent in the
Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) protocol currently offered in
IEEE 802.11 applications.
While wireless connections are becoming more and more popular
due to the ease of installation and reduced costs, organizations
cannot overlook the threats that these deployments can introduce.
As WEP has been proven to be vulnerable to numerous forms of
attack due to inherent flaws in the rudimentary security mechanisms
that it employs, customers are becoming more and more concerned
over the confidentiality, integrity, and reliability of these
applications.
Threats to the confidentiality and integrity of the information
moving across wireless LANs include passive attacks based on
statistical analysis to decrypt traffic, and active attacks that
can inject new traffic from unauthorized mobile platforms.
The use of Datacryptor AP allows organizations to securely and
cost effectively expand LAN connectivity across a physical plant
or campus. Scientific research organizations in the United States
processing sensitive data have shown much interest in the use
of Datacryptor AP to secure the deployment of wireless connections
within an intra-campus environment. As users increasingly demand
security without impacting performance requirements, the Datacryptor
AP is now available to meet this challenge.
Major Benefits of Wireless Connectivity:
- Eliminates the massive costs and delays of trenching for fiber
- Significantly reduces installation and deployment costs
- Easily scalable
- Deploys virtually anywhere
