AirMagnet Receives "Positive" Rating in Gartner's WLAN IPS MarketScope

(Business News & Technology News, 15 Jul 2008)

AirMagnet Inc. has received a rating of "positive" in Gartner's July 2008 MarketScope for Wireless LAN Intrusion Preventions Systems, which analyzes the performance of vendors that focus on meeting the security needs of organizations requiring vulnerability assessments and monitoring of WLANs, as well as providing detection and active blocking of potential attacks.

"We believe this new report confirms that AirMagnet not only delivers the WIPS security features and capabilities customers have come to expect from a market leader, but we also provide the strongest range of wireless performance and troubleshooting tools," says Chris Roeckl, Vice President of Marketing at AirMagnet. "In the end, our products span security, performance and troubleshooting, which differentiates us from the competition and gives our customers a variety of solutions to manage, optimize and secure the entire wireless environment."

According to Gartner's recent MarketScope, analysts estimate that global revenues in the WLAN intrusion prevention system market grew from $40 million in 2006 to $119 million in 2007 and that it will reach $168 million by year-end 2008. Moreover, most enterprises have moved rapidly from trying to keep WLANs out of their organizations to fully embracing them widely across all corporate facilities. So, although the wireless intrusion prevention system (WIPS) market has reached the early mainstream phase, it continues to be a dynamic market where new features are needed with each product release.
