Software Thwarts Wi-Fi Hackers

Sensforce offers new security enforcement product

Senforce Technologies, a maker of location-aware end-point security enforcement, has made available a comprehensive new security enforcement technology: Senforce Connectivity Control. According to the company, users of the new software working at public access Wi-Fi hotspots will be virtually invisible to hackers.

In addition, the software helps to ensure all endpoint devices, including desktops, notebooks, and tablet PCs, will remain in constant compliance with government security mandates. That includes key aspects of the DoD Directive 8100.2, which specifies the security requirements and responsibilities governing the use of commercial Wi-Fi devices, services, technologies and networks. Priced at $69.99, Senforce Connectivity Control also helps civilian agencies to abide by remote access policies.

The software is customized to manage risk according to the specific needs, requirements and researched best practices of wireless security initiatives, such as those used by the Air Force, Army, Navy and other military branches. It enforces system connectivity policies that are centrally managed, automatically distributed to end-users, and continuously enforced—always and everywhere, by group and/or network location—without any action on the part of the end-user. The product ensures control at a granular level, shipping with pre-configured out-of-the-box policy templates, and such automatic capabilities as: Preventing or disabling "at risk" networking behavior (i.e., network adapter bridging); controlling Wi-Fi usage by network location; disabling Wi-Fi connectivity when using wired LAN; disallowing Wi-Fi ad hoc network connections by location; enforcing use of Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) or Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) on all Wi-Fi connections.
