AirPatrol Wireless Policy Manager (WPM):
Wireless Policy Manager allows administrators to create security policies for laptops and mobile devices and maintain compliance with industry regulations. Using the intuitive Wireless Policy Manager interface, network administrators can define wireless connectivity policies to control how, when, where and if users can connect to wireless networks. Policies can be documented as required to comply with industry mandates such as Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA)", Sarbanes-Oxley Act (SOX), and Payment Card Industry (PCI) using the convenient reporting tools.

Wireless Policy Manager is tightly integrated with various Check Point solutions, including the Integrity end-point firewall and the SecureClient VPN client. Wireless Policy Manager can be configured to automatically launch a VPN client and to 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 Wireless Policy Manager system is comprised of two components: the Wireless Policy Manager console and the Wireless EndPoint Client. The Wireless Policy Manager console helps network administrators define wireless connectivity policies to be enforced using the Wireless EndPoint Client, which is installed on users' laptops. The Wireless EndPoint Client 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.

Together, Wireless Policy Manager and Wireless EndPoint Client can:

• Enable the use of the Check Point VPN client to prevent automatic connections to potentially insecure access points
• Control requirements for minimum levels of security (WEP, WPA PSK or WPA) for home networks
• Enforce the presence of an Integrity or other end-point firewall whenever a wireless network is used
• Set service set identifiers (SSIDs) policies and controls
• Prevent wireless-enabled hacking attacks such as Wi-Phishing and Evil Twin Attacks
• Enforce wireless connectivity policies and best practices
• Automatically detect and connect to pre-defined, safe Wi-Fi networks
• Allow 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

AirPatrol Wireless Locator System (WLS):
The AirPatrol Wireless Locator System (WLS) provides the actionable intelligence network administrators need to confidently manage wireless threats to their wired and wireless networks. WLS can be used as an Intrusion Detection solution in “no-wireless” environments and easily scales to protect and manage wireless networks. Using AirPatrol's revolutionary VirtualShield™ technology with a Check Point firewall, network administrators can prevent unauthorized wireless clients from accessing the wired LAN and beyond, containing these threats to the WLAN itself.

WLS is tightly integrated with the Check Point VPN-1 Edge W device and Check Point SMART (Security Management Architecture). WLS supports today’s most common network architectures 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 WLS 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.

• 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

The AirPatrol WLS solution integrates 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.
