SpectraGuard Online securely delivers wireless vulnerability management online and on-demand. Its architecture is designed for maximum scalability and ease-of-use.
- Secure storage and processing of wireless security data in SAS 70 certified SDCs.
- Physical access to the SDCs is through a triple layer authentication.
- SDCs are architected for high availability.
- Wireless scanners scan wireless activity at locations where they are installed. Wireless scanner devices are also known as “Sensors”. Each wireless scanner typically scans 20,000 sq. ft.
- Wireless scanners transfer the scan data to the SDCs securely using industry standard AES encryption.
- Wireless scanners are installed on any network in plug and play mode.
- The Web-based User Interface (“Console”) provides secure HTTPS access to SpectraGuard Online over the internet, any time, anywhere.
- Console is implemented using Java Applet technology (Sun Java Runtime Engine – JRE) that provides users with the best online experience.
- Use an Internet Explorer 6.0+ browser to access the Console.
Secure Data Centers (SDCs) |
|
AirTight provides secure storage and processing of wireless security data in
SAS-70 certified SDCs. All of the data processing is done inside the SDC.
Physical access to SDCs is controlled through a triple layer authentication.
SDCs are architected for high availability.

Wireless scanners for on-demand scanning and 24x7 monitoring |
|
Wireless Scanners perform
on-demand scanning and 24x7 monitoring of wireless activity at locations
where they are installed. They securely transfer the scan data to the
SDC using industry standard encryption techniques. Wireless scanner
devices are also popularly known as simply "Sensors".

Wireless Scanner - Plug and Play
Installation
Wireless scanners (Sensors) are installed in plug-and-play mode. Plug
Sensors into an available Ethernet port that provides Internet access.
If the Sensors are able to talk to the SDC successfully, you will see
all its 4 LEDs go green. You should install Sensors at each physical
location where wireless security is to be provided.

Secure Wireless Scanner to SDC Communication
Wireless scanner communicates securely (using industry standard AES
encryption) with the SDC over UDP port 3851. Port 3851 is specially assigned by
IEEE to AirTight Networks. Sensor upgrades are conducted over HTTP port 80.

Wireless Scanner Placement and Scanning Area
Each wireless scanner can typically scan 20,000 sq. ft of physical area.
Scanners are usually placed at the center of a floor. Scanners can be placed on
top of cubicle walls or can be optionally mounted using brackets.
