Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) is the encryption protocol defined in the original IEEE 802.11 standard for Wireless Local Area Networks (WLANs). Several known vulnerabilities and attack tools have compromised WEP making it unsuitable for secure WLAN implementations, without additional layers of security. AirDefense's patented WEP Cloaking solution is designed to make WEP virtually invulnerable to known attacks and tools, providing a robust layer of protection for legacy WLANs. The solution does not require any hardware or software modifications to the legacy WLAN infrastructure and is designed to work seamlessly through the AirDefense Enterprise Wireless Intrusion Prevention System (WIPS). WEP Cloaking can save large enterprises substantial capital costs by avoiding costly upgrades to their WLAN infrastructure while ensuring peace of mind from security and compliance issues.
