TLC is pleased to have acquired
WirelessWall from Cranite Systems in 2008. WirelessWall is a
best-of-breed, proven solution for securing wireless local area
networks (WLANs) that is relied upon by tens of thousands of
people in some of the most sensitive and demanding IT
environments. It adds uniform WPA2-Enterprise class
security to heterogeneous access points and can support
long-haul 802.16 (WiMax) bridges. This allows enterprises
to have campus-wide wireless privacy, without sacrificing their
legacy network investment or compromising the security of their
networks. This robust, FIPS 140-2
certified solution combines enterprise-class network
protection and seamless cross-subnet mobility support with
highly efficient management.
Centralized Monitoring and Management
WirelessWall includes a single,
centralized web-based interface for configuring, managing and
monitoring the entire secure wireless network. WirelessWall
integrates easily with your existing authentication and
directory services, making it simple to manage user additions,
changes, and deletions. The combination of TLC's per-connection
firewall, secure traffic control and browser-based system
console provides administrators with total operational control
over network traffic and security levels. Administrators can
monitor the performance and usage of the wireless network in
real-time, and quickly make adjustments to optimize the network
or accommodate unexpected behavior.
Superior Network Security and Privacy
Unlike Layer 3- or VPN-based systems,
WirelessWall secures both the wireless data transmission and
vulnerable network information at Layer 2. The solution is
designed to eliminate exposure to a wide variety of network
attacks, including Passive Dictionary, ARP Connection
Redirection, Access Point Spoofing, Man-in-the-Middle and Denial
of Service.
WirelessWall protects your network by
authenticating every data frame and encrypting all network
traffic, not just user data. Unlike VPN-based systems,
WirelessWall encrypts and verifies all traffic, while hiding
sensitive network addresses and preventing attacks based on
broadcast or multicast frames.
WirelessWall secures your data from theft
using Advanced Encryption Standard (AES), the preferred
encryption method of the US government's FIPS 140-2
Cryptographic Module Validation Program. AES is extremely secure
and very processor-efficient, making it the cryptography of
choice for mobile applications.
WirelessWall enhances network control with
per-connection firewalls that can tailor network access based on
user identification regardless of their location. And
per-connection firewall in WirelessWall provides a safe, easy
solution for supporting guests on an otherwise closed network.
Seamless Mobility
Designed to provide robust mobility
support, WirelessWall combines wired-equivalent service with
seamless, uninterrupted sessions for wireless users as they move
from location to location within the enterprise - even across
subnets. WirelessWall works behind the scenes to deliver all
session information to the WirelessWall Access Controller
located at the user's new location. This ensures a fast,
seamless transition without user intervention or disruption.
Whether you require maximum security, efficient mobility, or
minimal network traffic, WirelessWall is designed to facilitate
the mobility patterns of all of your users.
Investment Protection
Designed as an open architecture,
WirelessWall integrates seamlessly with existing authentication
and directory services and supports any mix of 802.11 a, b, g,
h, j and 802.11n products from any vendor. This approach
supports the latest WiFi technology, while still protecting
customers' existing infrastructure investments, resulting in
reduced overall cost of ownership.
