GFI Software has unveiled GFI WirelessSentry (GFI WiSe), a cloud-based solution that allows IT administrators to monitor, manage, optimise and secure wireless networks regardless of the networking hardware deployed.
GFI WiSe uses a simple-to-deploy lightweight sensor on a local machine near each access point with a web-based cloud management console. After deploying the sensor, WiSe automatically identifies nearby wireless networks and access points, which can then be easily monitored and managed via a browser-based dashboard.
In addition, GFI WiSe enhances wireless security and protects users against rogue access points in and around IT administrators’ wireless networks.
GFI WiSe works with any make and model of network, making it an option for SMBs who want a centrally-managed solution without being locked into a single vendor.
Other features include remote management of Wi-Fi networks, wireless vulnerability assessment and detection, bandwidth monitoring, real time alerts and the ability to prioritise network access for devices designated as VIP.
GFI claims that WiSe is easy to install, maintain and can be up and running in minutes, without the need to replace any existing hardware.
GFI WiSe is available immediately. Prices start from $295 per access point on an annual subscription.
