Sophos<\/a> (LSE: SOPH), a global leader in network and endpoint security<\/a>, today announced the availability of Sophos Wireless<\/a>, its first cloud-based solution for the protection and management of wireless networks. Managed through the Sophos Central platform, Sophos customers and partners can now secure and manage wireless networking in a single console alongside their Sophos endpoint, mobile, web and server protection.<\/p>\n

According to Nolan Greene, a senior research analyst from IDC\u2019s Network Infrastructure group, the cloud-managed Wi-Fi market continues to be\u00a0among\u00a0the fastest growing sub-segments\u00a0of the Wi-Fi market as many organizations realize\u00a0its power to enable\u00a0the benefits of working with mobility\u00a0in a wireless device-centric world.\u00a0\u201cUnified wired and wireless management and security are also\u00a0becoming\u00a0more important in ensuring\u00a0quality of\u00a0user and manager experience, security, visibility, and compliance on the\u00a0cloud-managed\u00a0network. These trends lead to tremendous opportunities\u00a0for\u00a0value-added\u00a0resellers and MSPs to respond rapidly to their customers\u2019\u00a0changing\u00a0wireless network\u00a0needs,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cToday, there are very few businesses that do not provide a wireless network to allow employees or visitors to stay connected and the management of those networks is critical to maintaining an organization\u2019s IT security, \u201d commented Bryan Barney, senior vice president and general manager of Sophos Network Security Group. \u201cBy adding the management of Sophos Wireless to Sophos Central we\u2019re helping our partners simplify better network protection and quickly expand the services they offer to customers. The cloud-based platform enables Sophos to release feature updates every three weeks meaning Sophos Wireless benefits from constant advancement to stay ahead of the latest threats. \u201d<\/p>\n

James Lyne, head of global security research at Sophos knows that many organizations are failing to adequately protect their networks. \u201cOur war-biking research<\/a> into the state of wireless network security showed that very few wireless networks adhered to security best practices and some were using protocols so ancient that attackers could break into their networks in seconds. Once in, an attacker could read, intercept and even alter the traffic across the network, and from there is would not take them long to find a way into the corporate network to launch further attacks,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Sophos Wireless uses the proven range of Sophos Access Points<\/a> which can also be managed on-premise via Sophos SG UTM<\/a> and XG Firewall<\/a>, key features for wireless setup and control include:<\/p>\n
