Network Chemistry Scanner is the first wired-side vulnerability management solution focused on rogue device detection and automated remediation. The solution protects organizations from unauthorized devices and allows the organization to specify what types of equipment they consider to be a risk.

For most organizations, rogue APs, rogue peers, and ghostservers represent the greatest risk, but for others unwanted wireless cameras, printers, and PCs create a greater vulnerability. No matter, Network Chemistry Scanner will find and eliminate them.

With over 300 manufacturers of access points and more than 10,000 different models of network infrastructure, the major challenge companies have faced has been maintaining a system to track and identify all of the potential rogue devices and continually scanning the network to identify them.

Network Chemistry Scanner provides a comprehensive, yet easy to use solution that protects confidential data and preserves network integrity. Whether the organization embraces the use of wireless or not, the prevalence of wireless devices is exacerbating this situation. A single unauthorized wireless device that remains unchecked can lead to the exposure of confidential data; and if it is disclosed, it will be a damaged compromise of the network integrity which can then lead to a disruption of business and receipt of regulatory penalties for each infringement.

Network Chemistry Scanner features the patent-pending Collaborative Device Classification system to ensure the most accurate and up-to-date device classification. The Collaborative Device Classification system is unique in that it leverages an open source model to build and maintain up-to-date profiles of millions of devices. It does this through the use of RogueScanner™. RogueScanner is an open source scanning agent that uses the Collaborative Device Classification system to look up and identify the device type and its identity in real time. Identified devices are included in the Collaborative Device Database that is maintained by Network Chemistry. Network Chemistry anonymously stores all data collected in the database and makes the database available to customers of Network Chemistry Scanner. Network Chemistry Scanner appliances include the database and receive updated device classification rules and profiles to ensure the system is up-to-date thereby enabling the most accurate detection and remediation of rogue wireless devices.

Network Chemistry Scanner provides complete network coverage capabilities through its flexible deployment architecture and is ideal for use to enforce a 'no wireless' policy where wireless infrastructure is not allowed. Organizations with wireless LANs and mobile users who are concerned with protecting confidential data and the wireless network can deploy Network Chemistry Scanner in conjunction with Network Chemistry's other award-winning product, RFprotect Distributed, to provide complete wired and wireless scanning and protection.
