The Wireless Threat
As wireless deployments become more and more popular, so does their attractiveness to competitors for industrial espionage, ‘war-driving’ crackers, spammers looking for an open network, and other attackers. Enabling network connectivity for laptop and other mobile device users can eliminate the effectiveness of perimeter based security devices such as firewalls - an insecure wireless deployment can easily become a backdoor into your core network.

Identifying, Modeling, and Eliminating the Threat:
QuietMove’s Wireless Security Risk Assessment
QuietMove’s wireless assessment evaluates the security posture of your wireless network, identifying risks and exposures within your wireless deployment. QuietMove’s consultants analyze your wireless technology architecture and device configurations to identify authorized and unauthorized access points and recommend solutions to strengthen the security of the wireless infrastructure.

QuietMove experts begin by surveying the customer premises to discover and map all available access points. By comparing the data gathered during the site survey against a list of authorized devices, QuietMove is able to identify rogue devices.

Outside of your facilities, QuietMove consultants will utilize sophisticated wireless antennas to identify wireless network traffic leaking from buildings. If necessary, engineers will move into controlled areas of the building to continue seeking wireless LAN traffic. When traffic is discovered, engineers determine the level of encryption and authentication used, looking for attributes such as network addresses and then attempt to gain access to the Wireless LAN by using the latest cutting-edge cracking tools and techniques.

After completing technical testing, QuietMove consultants will review and compare the wireless network architecture and configuration to regulatory compliance requirements, your policies, and industry best practices, documenting identified vulnerabilities and threats to your enterprise and producing a Compliance Roadmap which will move you from your current to your desired wireless security posture.
