Check Point and Entrust Secure Wireless LAN

When protecting corporate resources accessed over a WLAN, it is important to be able to identify the users and devices involved in the WLAN connection. Entrust helps to secure WLANs by providing strong identification of users and devices (through the issuance of digital identities) helping to mitigate the risk of hackers and misuse. Entrust Security for WLAN provides strong authentication to CheckPoint’s WLAN products by allowing users to authenticate with a managed digital ID. This digital ID (comprised of certificate(s) and key(s)) can be stored in a file on the desktop, in the Windows registry, on a smart card or in an Entrust directory.

As organization's WLAN requirements continue to grow; involving more users, more devices and increased complexity, the Entrust's solutions will continue to provide automated security management allowing organization's to maximize their return on investment and significantly lower their total cost of ownership.

Leveraging the capabilities of Check Point and Entrust, this solution can help customers:

  • Use a single security infrastructure: Entrust's award-winning PKI provides enhanced security beyond VPN for other applications.
  • Reduce user administration: users are able to self-register and perform basic self-administration tasks securely and independently.
  • Increase scalability: using Entrust digital IDs for authentication can reduce security administration compared with using username/password.
  • Provide ease of use: transparent security functions for end users and automated security management for admin.
  • Use a single security infrastructure: Entrust's award-winning PKI provides enhanced security beyond VPN for other applications.
