Products, Security, Wireless, Global: AirMagnet has introduced AirMagnet Laptop Analyzer 6.0, the sixth generation of its laptop-based WLAN security and troubleshooting software.
The new Laptop Analyzer adds support for IntelR CentrinoR technology, eliminating the need for users to buy a separate Wi-Fi card, and includes a remote visibility capability to share real-time network information with distant experts. Version 6.0 also includes compliance reporting for the credit card industry's PCI DSS security standard, described as a critical feature for any retail organisation that accepts credit cards. AirMagnet Laptop is deployed with more than 130 security and performance alarms and tens of thousands of users at more than 4,000 organisations worldwide. Laptop Analyzer's new remote visibility feature makes it possible for two users of Laptop Analyzer to connect to each other for more advanced wireless troubleshooting. For instance, this lets a networking expert at headquarters “look over the shoulder” of a wireless field technician, seeing details of Wi-Fi performance problems in real time. Remote visibility of shared applications reduces the need for offline packet capture and analysis, and provides an ideal training process for distant users. AirMagnet expands its compliance-reporting feature with a new compliance report in Laptop Analyzer 6.0 to help users meet strict new regulatory requirements for wireless payment transactions. This automated compliance report supports PCI DSS, the Payment Card Industry's Data Security Standard - a set of 12 requirements created by VISA and MasterCard to ensure that cardholder information is kept secure throughout the credit card transaction process. Merchants or service providers who fail to comply with the standard face financial penalties and may even have their acceptance privileges revoked. more info: www.air-magnet.co.uk |
