Until now, defense, intelligence, and civilian agencies that wanted to transmit classified voice, video, and data over wireless networks had to deploy a purpose-built National Security Agency (NSA)-certified Type-1 wireless solution. But purchasing and operating separate wireless networks for classified and unclassified clients increases equipment and operational costs. It also prevents the Type-1 wireless clients from taking advantage of the built-in capabilities of enterprise-class wireless infrastructure, such as intrusion detection, location tracking, and network management. Now agencies can support a multilevel security architecture for classified, unclassified, and guest clients on a converged wireless LAN infrastructure that meets all federal and NSA security requirements. This white paper explains the Secure Wireless Architecture Type-1 solution from Cisco and Harris, which combines the Cisco® Unified Wireless Architecture, Harris SecNet 54 inline network encryptor (INE), and professional services from Harris IT Services.

For today’s computing environments, there is little question that endpoint security is a required component of an overall enterprise security strategy.1 On one hand, various trends fostering user mobility ensure that many endpoints will frequently be exposed directly to the Internet. On the other hand, even when they are operating on the LAN, endpoints are still being exposed to numerous threats, both from other internal sources as well as from external sources that are all too often demonstrating the ability to penetrate or otherwise circumvent an enterprise’s perimeter defenses. It is not surprising, however, that establishing a comprehensive endpoint security solution is a complicated undertaking. A number of factors, such as accounting for unmanaged nodes, increase the scope of the challenge. In addition, selecting and stitching together an appropriate set of countermeasures often depends on navigating a complex and proliferating landscape of applicable point products.

Higher productivity means a lower cost of doing business. Surveys show that workers put in more hours and produce better results when they can work at home, check email and edit documents in airports and hotels, and download data and documents in customer offices. A Dell study found that employees given laptops increased productivity by 7.7 hours per week over comparable workers with desktop computers.
