CA Certifies Highwall Sentinel Appliance As Interoperable With Unicenter NSM Wireless Network Management Option
Product Detects and Locates Rogue Wireless Devices and Networks 24x7 to Prevent Vulnerabilities to the Wired Network
Sarasota, FL (PRWEB) April 5, 2004 -- Highwall Technologies today announced
that Computer Associates International, Inc. (CA) has certified the Highwall
Sentinel appliance as interoperable with CA's Unicenter NSM Wireless Network
Management Option.
The integrated solution enables IT organizations to
centrally manage and enforce "no unauthorized wireless" policies and protect
wired networks from intrusions that can occur through rogue access points,
peer-to-peer networks and wireless clients. The Highwall Sentinel has received
the ca smart seal of excellence, which is awarded to products that integrate
seamlessly with CA solutions, enabling customers to take advantage of
best-in-class technologies while minimizing cost, time-to-benefit and risk.
"As wireless LANs become more prevalent in the enterprise, an integrated
approach to securing and managing the wireless enterprise is critical to the
effective mitigation of risks associated with this new environment," said Sumit
Deshpande, vice president in the Office of the CTO at CA. "The ca smart
certified Highwall Sentinel complements Unicenter NSM's ability to address this
important requirement."
Unicenter NSM Wireless Network Management Option
manages multi-vendor WLAN environments with comprehensive rogue access point
detection, real-time performance monitoring, troubleshooting tools, and
historical trending functions from a central console or handheld device. As part
of the Unicenter family of infrastructure management products, it also ensures
that WLANs can be managed consistently with the wired network.
The
Highwall Sentinel is a high-range, network security appliance that monitors the
airwaves for all unauthorized WiFi activity. Instead of deploying hundreds of
low range sensors, Highwall offers the ability to cover entire buildings with a
single appliance.
"The only way to enforce a wireless policy and assure
there are no unauthorized wireless access points or clients is by watching the
air as well as the wire," said Rich Swier, Chief Executive Officer of Highwall
Technologies. "Together with CA, we are providing users of Unicenter NSM
Wireless Network Management Option the ability to detect, locate and shutdown
any wireless vulnerability and truly secure the wired network."
