WPM 1000 – OPSEC Wireless Policy Management System
Most laptops and the confidential data they contain are at risk to numerous wireless security exploits despite advances in WLAN encryption and authentication. AirPatrol’s WPM 1000 Wireless Policy Management System provides the enterprise-class policy management, access control tools, and client software network administrators need to secure data and control the use of wireless-enabled devices in their organization.

The WPM 1000 system is tightly integrated with various Check Point solutions including the Integrity end-point firewall and SecureClient VPN client. The WPM 1000 platform can be configured to automatically launch a VPN client and enforce the presence of an end-point firewall whenever a wireless network is used – allowing network administrators to confidently control how, when, and where users can connect to wireless networks.

The WPM 1000 system is comprised of two components: the WPM Policy Management Console and the WPM Client. The WPM Policy Management Console helps network administrators define wireless connectivity policies to be enforced using the WPM Client on users' laptops. The WPM Client also includes AirPatrol's patent-pending AirSafeTM technology, which prevents unauthorized access to data stored on laptops and potential bridging to connected networks by automatically disabling the automatic Wi-Fi capabilities standard on today’s most common wireless-enabled computer platforms.

WPM Policy Management Console:

• Enables the use of the Check Point VPN client to prevent automatic connections to potentially insecure access points
• Controls requirements for minimum levels of security (WEP, WPA PSK or WPA) for home networks
• Enforces the presence of an Integrity or other end-point firewall whenever a wireless network is used
• Sets service set identifiers (SSIDs) policies and controls

WPM Client:

• Prevents wireless-enabled hacking attacks such as Wi-Phishing and Evil Twin Attacks
• Enforces wireless connectivity policies and best practices
• Automatically detects and connects to pre-defined, safe Wi-Fi networks
• Allows users to instantly set up secure ad-hoc networks and to share resources (such as a high-speed connection to the Internet) and data within a workgroup – without requiring a wireless access point

WMS Series – OPSEC Wireless Management Solution Series
Proper wireless network management and security controls are essential to optimize network performance, protect data and comply with directives and regulations for securing information. Based on an expert understanding of the wireless security threats and performance issues that organizations face, AirPatrol delivers the capabilities customers need to confidently deploy, manage and protect networks against wireless threats.

The Wireless Management Solution Series delivers a powerful software-based tool for planning, optimizing, and controlling all wireless access points and devices from a single console. The WMS Series is tightly integrated with the Check Point VPN-1 Edge W device and the Check Point SMART (Security Management Architecture). The WMS Series supports today’s most common network architectures and a wide variety of third party access points utilizing industry-standard Check Point firewalls for traffic blocking and threat mitigation strategies. This unique approach offers the industry unprecedented scalability and flexibility in a wireless LAN solution.

The solution can be deployed as a robust wireless Intrusion Detection and Location Solution (IDLS) to secure and enforce no-wireless policies or as a powerful wireless network management tool with the most powerful wireless IDLS capabilities in the industry. In addition, the WMS Series supports AirPatrol's revolutionary SoftSensor wireless sensor and a wide range of access points from a variety of manufacturers.

• Dramatically reduces the cost and time-to-deployment – can be deployed in minutes instead of weeks
• Uses a cutting-edge graphical user interface to identify the precise location of all authorized and unauthorized wireless devices in real-time
• Enables network administrators to control all wireless access points and devices from a single console - including the ability to configure access point settings and secure encryption modes, define automatic channel allocation between access points, and execute intelligent load balancing
• Interacts with access points and wireless controllers from a wide variety of vendors using industry standard communication protocols, while providing comprehensive interoperability with all industry standard web interfaces

The AirPatrol WMS and WPM solutions integrate with the Check Point SmartConsole application, leveraging the SAM (Suspicious Activity Monitoring) API. This allows users to automatically block unauthorized wireless devices from accessing network resources by issuing block commands through the SAM API.
