Readers applauded the Cisco Wireless Security Suite for its scalability, integration with wired security management systems, vendor support and granular and flexible policy creation, earning the product the silver medal.
The set of products provides intrusion detection, an integrated authentication framework and scalable centralized security management. WPA and WPA2 security is supported for authentication and data encryption.
The solution allows IT organizations to take readings and monitor what is in their airspace, whether there are threats, rogue access points, and more, says Chris Kozup, senior manager of mobility solutions at Cisco.

NOTABLE Cisco acquired Cognio last September to boost its wireless security efforts by, among other things, detecting and mitigating sources of RF interference.
