Aruba's RFprotect system represents the best of breed overlay wireless intrusion detection and prevention (WIDP) system. RFprotect Distributed is a powerful wireless security solution incorporates the industry's only Wireless Threat Protection Framework – including user-defined threat signatures – for complete threat detection, attack prevention, "no wireless" policy enforcement and compliance reporting inside the enterprise. RFprotect Mobile is a wireless analysis tool that helps design, maintain, and secure wireless networks. Running on a laptop and designed for walk-around use, RFprotect Mobile can be used for locating suspect devices, conducting security audits, site surveys and troubleshooting – whether a wireless LAN (WLAN) has been deployed or not.

RFprotect Distributed is an infrastructure-based two-tier WIPS consisting of a network of sensors, built from Aruba's line of access points, and a centralized server running RFprotect Distributed software. This powerful wireless security solution incorporates the industry's only Wireless Threat Protection Framework for complete threat detection, attack prevention, "no wireless" policy enforcement and compliance reporting inside the enterprise. RFprotect Distributed secures your wireless network against intrusions that are perpetrated intentionally and from vulnerabilities caused unintentionally through misconfigured network equipment. The solution can be deployed standalone, with no wireless LAN present, or as an overlay to monitor any vendor's wireless LAN equipment.

Key Features:
  • Complete Threat Monitoring: Provides complete and continuous 24x7 monitoring of wireless activity across all channels and leverages dual-radio security sensors for detection and prevention.
  • User-defined Experts: Ability to create new experts—sets of conditions allowing the detection of new attacks and security events. Provides zero-day protection against new attacks on wireless infrastructure. Leverages the open security research community for reviewing and creating new experts.
  • Policy-based Threat Prioritization: Enforces corporate policy and enables ease-of-use through fully automated policy-based threat prioritization
  • Fully Automated Threat Mitigation: Ensures the highest level of automated threat mitigation by containing attacks while still scanning for new threats
  • Automated Compliance Reporting: Ensures compliance with wireless security policies and regulations through automated reporting
  • Ease of Use and Low TCO: Reduces deployment costs for a rapid ROI and low total cost of ownership
