White Paper Sponsored by Colubris Networks: Evaluating Wireless IPS Systems

Abstract

This Tolly Group white paper, commissioned by Colubris Networks, Inc., focuses on the key issues users must consider when evaluating wireless intrusion prevention systems. For the report, The Tolly Group evaluated the Colubris RF Manager, a multi-faceted WIPS designed to protect enterprise network infrastructures from wireless attacks.

The Tolly Group assessed the capability of the Colubris RF Manager to detect and block a range of wireless threats — from dealing with rogue APs, to detection and prevention of access point (AP) MAC address spoofing, to detection and prevention of Denial of Service (DoS) attacks, and several others.

Tolly Group engineers measured the effectiveness of the Colubris RF Manager against two other products: AirMagnet Inc.’s AirMagnet Enterprise and Aruba Networks Aruba Mobility Controller.
