BlueSecure™ Distributed Intrusion Protection System
A complete wireless intrusion detection and protection system that secures your enterprise network infrastructure. |
Enterprise wireless LANs are rapidly finding their way from pilot projects to mainstream network deployments—from universities to hospitals, from manufacturing and government to corporate networks. Yet WLANs are inherently more vulnerable to external hacker attacks and malicious users. That’s why the BlueSecure™ Distributed Intrusion Protection System (IPS) is indispensable as an RF intrusion detection and protection system. BlueSecure Distributed IPS includes a Windows-based Server integrated with powerful, purpose-built RF Sensors deployed on the network. It’s a complete security monitoring solution that protects your information assets from current and emerging wireless threats.
Detect and Protect Against Rogue Devices
BlueSecure IPS protects the enterprise from all types of rogue devices including Access Points, rogue clients, neighboring WLANs, peer-to-peer (ad hoc) networks, and software APs as they appear.
Not only can BlueSecure IPS alert you to potential WLAN threats, it can also actively contain or block threatening rogue devices. By enabling BlueSecure IPS’s powerful blocking capability, you can disable offending devices immediately from a remote location. This minimizes the window of time from alert to resolution, which is critical to ensuring the security of your network.
Identify Hackers Before They Attack
Wireless hackers are armed with a variety of tools and can break your WLAN with probe-based identity theft algorithms and denial-of-service attacks. BlueSecure IPS scans for these suspicious activities across your entire enterprise geography, reporting attacks in real time so you can respond before damage is done.
Enforce WLAN Security Policies
WLAN security policies can reduce vulnerabilities that hackers will exploit, but policy is useless if it isn’t enforced. BlueSecure IPS notifies you for policy enforcement when RF security is violated. Enforcing RF security policy for your WLAN complements all the user security and policy management tools available through BlueSecure Controllers.
Diagnose Network Health Problems
When network problems are suspected, use BlueSecure IPS to drill down on any access point or client. You can launch advanced diagnostics for remote troubleshooting using per-station statistical detail and full seven-layer traffic analysis.
Ensure Compliance
For government and healthcare institutions deploying wireless, BlueSecure meets NIST recommendations, HIPAA regulations and also complies with Department of Defense Directive Number 8100.2, which calls for highly secure wireless networks and makes 802.11 intrusion detection and protection a requirement.
| HOW IT WORKS |
 |
BlueSecure Distributed IPS overlays your existing network without requiring modification of your existing wired or wireless infrastructure. As with BlueSecure Controllers, BlueSecure IPS is open systems-based and proactively monitors RF for the entire physical infrastructure in a vendor-agnostic and implementation-agnostic approach. The system scales from small WLAN deployments to enterprise WLANs with hundreds of access points.

True Plug-n-Play Setup and Operation
BlueSecure IPS is designed for ease of setup and operation. You’ll go from out-of-the-box to monitoring live traffic within minutes. The BlueSecure Server GUI is intuitive because it focuses on exception information – not reams of useless data. The Server’s Online Advisor helps you interpret the management information and respond quickly.
Know Who is Using Your WLAN
BlueSecure IPS provides real-time updates of who’s using your WLAN. View all the access points and clients around your physical infrastructure – who’s associating with whom and what’s being sent over the WLAN.
