Digital certificates offer administrators a much higher level of security than usernames and passwords, because only users with provisioned certificates and valid credentials can gain network and device access.  Encryption is also enhanced due to individual per session keys that are issued dynamically. This prevents hackers from using rogue devices to access the network.

Secure your device after powering it on or off and after periods of inactivity. Wavelink Avalanche SecurePlus provides a secure authenticated login to an existing Active Directory infrastructure and extends to inhibit out-of-band device compromises, such as those through Active Sync. Incorporating Certificate Manager affords you the opportunity to retrieve network connectivity profiles, which allows each individual account users on the device to authenticate into the wireless LAN using a certificate that is user specific.  Avalanche SecurePlus is able to authenticate separately to the wireless LAN when there are no logged-in users to a device, allowing remote administration to a device even when it is not in use. Another unique feature allows administrators the ability to generate a secure unlock code for a specific mobile device should a user forget their username and/or password.

Sometimes a mobile device can be misplaced or lost, compromising mobile data and/or the network before an administrator can act to remove access to valuable company data and applications. Avalanche SecurePlus helps administrators protect an organization’s critical applications and data by providing a flexible model for defining when a mobile device should lock down. Administrators can define when a mobile device is operating in a “secure” state by defining a network signature, which combines aspects of a network that must be present to operate securely. If the signature fails after a predefined period, the device locks and critical data is encrypted or deleted. Avalanche SecurePlus can also guard against unauthorized time changes.

As a comprehensive management solution for the wireless enterprise, users can configure, stage and deploy Avalanche SecurePlus centrally through Wavelink’s Avalanche MC. By activating the Avalanche Certificate Manager license, the end-user can deploy certificates and users to a device simply through an easy, systematic process that relieves the need for device-specific knowledge.

The Wavelink Avalanche SecurePlus device-side user-interface is completely configurable by the administrator. The administrator can easily customize a splash screen, images and even send specific messaging to end-users.

Avalanche SecurePlus is able to report a collection of new properties back into the Avalanche MC solution. Use this information to generate dynamic lists of devices meeting new criteria. Your administrators can now identify who are using which devices, which wireless LANs are in use, and any anomalies such as any device that may be actively being compromised through excessive login attempts.
