February 27, 2012 04:40 PM
If the phone isn't ringing, then your wireless users must not be feeling any pain, right? That can be a dangerous assumption in large, complicated wireless networks. Some issues may not be crystallized enough to raise your clients' ire, but the fact remains that performance is degraded. AirMagnet's latest Enterprise version wants to make hard-to-find problems more obvious even as the WLAN gets ever more complex.Aruba Networks Swings Big At BYOD And More With ClearPass
February 21, 2012 09:00 AM
Gone are the days of simply providing good signal in the WLAN environment. Guest requirements, the new reality of the BYOD--or bring your own device--model and increasing reliance on the wireless network as a critical resource combine to make life complicated for us in the business of enterprise wireless networking.

June 16, 2011 11:47 AM
When the topic of high-quality wireless networking comes up, its trendy to bandy about notions of blazing throughput and Star Trek-sounding features like "beam forming" and "band steering." But before a client gets to benefit from the growing magic built into the contemporary wireless network, it probably needs to be scrutinized under the lens of “triple A”: authentication, authorization and accounting. This is where the often unsung hero called RADIUS comes in.EAPeak Tests Wireless Networks For Authentication Weaknesses
June 09, 2011 01:30 PM
A free new tool from security vendor SecureState may make it possible for wireless network administrators and security consultants to verify how strong their wireless authentication is and whether it is possible for attackers to easily penetrate their networks. EAPeak is a simple Python toolkit that will monitor access attempts to a wireless network and track how clients are attempting to authenticate.Ponemon Auditors' Survey Reveals Poor Opinion Of Security Programs
March 15, 2011 10:30 AM
Auditors generally take a dim view of the data security programs at organizations that they audit, according to a Ponemon Institute survey sponsored by Thales eSecurity. Only about one-third of the respondents said that the organizations are proactive in managing privacy and data protection risks. Further, three of five say they don't feel data security is a strategic priority. Fewer than half believe these organizations have sufficient resources to meet their data compliance requirements. The net outcome is that half the audits they conduct reveal serious deficiencies or compliance failures.Tufin Firewall Management Suite Supports Palo Alto Networks' Application-Identity Capabilities
