Stories about: AirTight Networks

The Black Hat conference and its post-event, DefCon, promise to be a security funhouse in the coming week, as experts in Las Vegas seek to shock and amaze by poking holes in today's network technologies. The Web, wireless LANs, routers and desktop software may all look different reflected in the Black Hat/DefCon hall of mirrors, where security vendors will be revealing their hacker sides.

Existing wireless-LAN intrusion-prevention systems have a blind spot: Until they're upgraded, they can't detect radio signals from 802.11n WLAN gear.

As faster wireless 802.11n networks gain adoption, organizations want to deploy planning tools to deal with complexities in rolling out the new technology and to keep the networks secure.

Starting now, you no longer have to buy a software application to monitor your enterprise wireless LAN. You can just rent one online.

If you use a secure wireless network, hackers may be able to steal data from your computer in the time it takes to have a cup of coffee.

Protecting enterprise wireless networks from increasingly sophisticated attacks is the focus of a Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency research project, a pilot of which is just wrapping up at Dartmouth College.

AirTight Networks this week released the latest version of its wireless LAN planning application, with improvements that let the software more accurately model a wider array of radio frequency behaviors.
