WLAN security flies high with intrusion detection

Trapeze Networks Inc. announced yesterday that it is adding software from intrusion-detection vendor AirDefense to its wireless LAN (WLAN) systems, a move both companies say will help businesses defend against network attacks and rogue access points.

Bruce Van Nice, vice president of worldwide marketing for Pleasanton, Calif.-based Trapeze, said the pairing with Alpharetta, Ga.-based AirDefense will give Trapeze customers secure WLANs that are easy to scale and manage. The integration will also help businesses meet regulatory requirements that mandate auditing of WLAN systems to make sure they comply with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act and Sarbanes-Oxley legislation.

The upgrade to Trapeze's Mobility System Software will be out by year's end as part of the company's Open Access Point Initiative. The pricing model is still in the works, Van Nice said. WLAN security flies high with intrusion detection
