New Software Detects Intruders
Spectraguard Enteprise 5.0 allows businesses to monitor their own airspace. Wireless networks are becoming necessary in our busy and mobile world. This software can find where the connection is originating from and send an alert to information security personnel.
The product allows the business to register legitimate wireless products, then monitors the networked area for devices that are not registered. If it sees such a connection attempt, the software uses a decision tree to decide whether the access is of a friendly nature.
The package may even send a signal to the offending computer confirming a network connection. At this point the network software simply denies any activity while the information security personnel is alerted of the location of the suspect device. This is intended to hold the perpetrator in a range that can be easily inspected by personnel.
Spectragaurd Enterprise 5.0 received a very good rating from “eWeek Labs.” The solution is probably a little expensive for small businesses, but it would be an asset to larger or large volume data processors.
