Protect Enterprise Confidential Business Information from Wireless Intrusion
The 3Com® AirProtect Wireless Intrusion Prevention System Engine 6100, with one or more AirProtect Wireless Intrusion Prevention System 802.11a/b/g/n Sensor SS-300-AT or 802.11a/b/g Sensor 5750s, comprises the AirProtect Enterprise Wireless Intrusion Prevention System.
This Wireless Intrusion Prevention System (WIPS) helps protect your enterprise network and users from unauthorized wireless access.
Unsecure deployment of Wi-Fi Access Points (APs), or rogue APs, can open up your network to potential hackers, exposing confidential information about your business, customers, products and services. And users connecting to incorrect APs, whether internal rogue ones, or those external to your network, may lead to additional vulnerabilities.
The AirProtect Enterprise WIPS solves these problems by delivering similar protection as a wired firewall, but focused on the corporate airwaves.

Protect Confidential Business Information
Confidential information about your business and customers can be exposed through insecure APs— rogue and misconfigured— and when employees connect to incorrect ones, such as those in close proximity to your business but not under your control (for example, the coffee shop next door).
The 3Com AirProtect Enterprise Wireless Intrusion Prevention System controls access to all these devices, helping to protect your information.

Complete the Network Defenses
Traditional firewalls only monitor wired traffic and have no visibility into the wireless traffic that is flowing in the air.
The AirProtect Enterprise WIPS continuously scans the airwaves and provides wireless intrusion prevention against any unauthorized Wi-Fi activities.

Most Robust Wireless Threat Prevention
Patented technology prevents major categories of threats from compromising your wireless network. Each sensor monitors 62 channels, and can prevent over 20 simultaneous threats.

Eliminate Time-Consuming False Positives
Other solutions claim rogue AP detection, but don't tell you whether the discovered AP is on your network or a neighbor's.
There is no need to sort through these false alarms about neighboring wireless networks— using patented auto-classification techniques, external devices are accurately classified and ignored while those that pose a threat to your network are immediately blocked, thereby protecting it.

Simplified Compliance Reporting
Many IT organizations now face regular compliance reporting requirements whether it be Sarbanes-Oxley, HIPAA, GLBA or others.
Pre-defined reports simplify this task, with a security violation summary for each section of the regulation. Interactive drill-down features as well as customizable reporting and delivery frequency provide the information you need, when you need it.

Designed for Scalability and Manageability
With the management capabilities needed for today's enterprise— remote management as well as monitoring— the AirProtect Enterprise Wireless IPS delivers the protection and performance you need across the nation, or around the globe.
Capabilities for multiple tiered levels of management, as well as scalability and performance enhancements, are included, supporting the requirements of the largest enterprises.
