How secure is your corporate Wi-Fi network? Test it with SecPoint
With WPA encryption already being cracked, and hackers harnessing graphics cards to break wireless keys in minutes, firms should look at SecPoint's wireless testing system to ensure their networks are secure...
Network experts have recently demonstrated how to detect a wireless network 3.6km away using a metal pole; how to break the Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP) key that WPA uses in under 15 minutes; and how to speed up encryption key cracking 10,000 times by graphics card processors in a business network.
In short, there has never been a more urgent time to protect a corporate wireless network than now.
SecPoint's newly-released Portable Penetrator 6.6 combines all of the latest hacking and cracking tools to offer the most comprehensive penetration testing kit available, and it can now crack wireless networks 300% faster.
"We want to deliver the ultimate IT Security Penetration Testing unit to the customer," explains Victor Christiansenn CEO of SecPoint.
"This allows the customer to perform real-life hacking attacks on their own networks, including breaking the security of their Wi-Fi networks. And of course the Portable Penetrator will show the customer how to fix all the discovered vulnerabilities!"
Now into its 12th year, Wi-Fi is the most stable and reliable wireless networking technology around, but it is constantly being undermined by fresh threats.
The Portable Penetrator vulnerability database consists of more than 10 years of research. The database has a total of more than 10,000 unique remote vulnerabilities to test for and its database is updated multiple times every day.
Users of the Penetrator can launch real exploits to verify that an identified vulnerability is exploitable. It is even possible to launch real Denial of Service attacks to test pre-production systems for stability.
Interest in corporate network data protection is estimated to have tripled in the last 12 months alone, with the costs of having a corporate network breached already well-documented.
In 2007, retail chain T.J. Maxx was upgrading from WEP to WPA wireless encryption when one of the most widely-publicised data breaches in history saw hundreds of millions of its customers’ credit card numbers stolen.

DANISH VERSION
Virksomheder behøver ikke spare på sikkerheden: Med Protector fra SecPoint får man uovertruffen valuta for pengene
Med det seneste redskab til beskyttelse af netværk, Protector, fra den danske sikkerheds virksomhed SecPoint kan virksomheder i hele verden på trods af finanskrisen få råd til at beskytte deres aktiviteter mod stadigt stigende netværkstrusler ... Virksomheder gør i øjeblikket, hvad de kan, for at reducere deres omkostninger, men sikkerhedseksperter i it-afdelinger vil ikke lade budgethensyn påvirke deres evne til at beskytte virksomhederne mod malware, spam og denial of service-angreb – og det med god grund. Aldrig før har man set så mange, så alvorlige og så sofistikerede angreb, og det har derfor aldrig været vigtigere at have en integreret sikkerhedspakke med firewall, registrering af uvedkommende indtrængning, netværksadgangskontrol og spamfiltrering. Undersøgelser viser, at op mod 85 procent af ondsindede koder på virksomhedernes computere nu kommer fra websteder. Og ifølge Google steg antallet af inficerede sider, der returneres ved søgninger på internettet, fra 0,3 procent til 1,3 procent på bare 12 måneder. Alligevel betyder den økonomiske nedgang, at it-afdelinger føler sig presset til at reducere udgifterne uden at kompromittere netværkets integritet – der skal altså gøres mere for færre midler. Og mens de fleste virksomheder benytter sig af webfiltrering, er det de færreste, der har det indstillet til at håndtere indhold, der skifter hurtigt. Websteder og onlinetjenester – herunder sociale netværkssites og brugergenereret indhold – har nu overhalet både spam, e-mail og flytbare medier som disketter eller USB-drev som den meste almindelig måde, malware spredes til computere på. Truslen forstærkes, fordi de almindelige it-sikkerhedsforanstaltninger ikke er placeret der, hvor de giver optimal beskyttelse mod webbaserede "angrebsvektorer". Langt de fleste virksomheder har endnu ikke truffet de nødvendige foranstaltninger til at beskytte sig mod webbaseret malware. Almindelige antimalwarescannere er kun delvist svaret, da de generelt er for langsomme til at forhindre, at ondsindede koder når frem til værtscomputeren. It-analysefirmaet Gartner vurderer, at det kun er omkring 15 procent af amerikanske og europæiske virksomheder, der overhovedet har implementeret filtrering af webindhold for beskyttelse mod malware, selv om op mod 70 procent kører URL-filtrering (adressefiltrering) for at blokere adgang til websteder med upassende indhold. Secpoints Protector 5.5 UTM med Anti Spam, Grey Listing, Antivirus, Web Filter og Intrusion Prevention Appliance er imidlertid en dedikeret enhed, der er designet til at køre uafhængigt af netværket og derfor ikke belaster det yderligere. Det er endda muligt at tilkoble to eller flere enheder for at opnå realtidsbeskytte af datacentre og større netværk. TEKNISKE SPECIFIKATIONER for Protector 5.5: * 5-20 % forøgelse af hastigheden af e-mail-scanning * Routing-tabel-funktion, der muliggør anvendelse på meget store netværk * 4. generation af Grey Listing antispam * Flere funktioner under Anti Spam Quarantine gør det lettere at administrere større karantæneområder * Lettere at modtage daglige rapporter over spam i karantæne Bemærkning til redaktører: Europas førende it-sikkerheds-virksomhed SecPoint leverer specialiseret Unified Threat Management-løsninger (UTM) inden for sårbarhedsstyring med Grey Listing, Web Filter og Content Filter. Virksomheden tilbyder bl.a. tjenester inden for forebyggelse af indtrængning, penetrationstest af it-sikkerheden og afprøvning af Wi-Fi-sikkerheden til virksomheder i hele verden. Med hovedkontor i København har SecPoint siden 1999 leveret avancerede sikkerhedsprodukter til mere end 600 kunder via SecPoint-forhandlere i såvel USA som Europa.
