Guaranteed SOX, PCI and HIPAA compliance
Achieving Sarbanes Oxley, PCI and HIPPA compliance in your wireless environment remains a constant challenge. Using AirWatch to track, monitor and manage your mobile devices and your wireless infrastructure ensures you achieve this compliance. In fact, we guarantee it. We guarantee it today and tomorrow when additional requirements may change or new ones added.Challenges of Achieving Compliance
The requirements surrounding Sarbanes Oxley, HIPAA and PCI compliance are often vague and don't always make your wireless network any more secure. For example, there is a PCI requirement stating you must rotate WEP codes quarterly, but WEP codes can be broken in less than 15 minutes, making the requirement is meaningless. So while you may abide by the rules, pass quarterly audits and ‘achieve' compliance, your wireless network may still be at risk.How AirWatch Achieves Compliance
AirWatch tracks, monitors and manages your access points and mobile devices in real-time, ensuring every setting is correct and every update is properly applied. As a result, you can achieve compliance with Sarbanes Oxley, HIPAA and PCI requirements, while also having a truly secure wireless network.More specifically, AirWatch captures and stores the ‘golden image' of every access point and mobile device so you know the proper settings are turned on. IDC reported that mis-configured equipment causes 70% of all security breeches. Such misconfigurations can occur after a power outage, which causes an access point to automatically revert to the factory default mode. This factory default mode may not be served and the access point may broadcasts its SSID. AirWatch prevents such scenarios by monitoring—in real time—every device's configuration on a 24/7 basis.
More Exacting Control over Your Devices and the People Who Use Them
AirWatch also works to make mobile network users only have access to the mobile devices they should. The solution abstracts and stores all device and network equipment user IDs and passwords into an encrypted PIN vault.Having this PIN vault ensures your users only know their unique AirWatch password, minimizing and even eliminating unwanted risk and exposure to your network. Furthermore, when employees leave your organization, you only need to change their specific AirWatch password and not every device they touched.
This functionality is critical for users looking to achieve PCI compliance, which demands an organization change all passwords of which a departing employee has knowledge. Prior to AirWatch's PIN Vault technology, companies seldom adhered to this requirement because it was too cumbersome and time consuming.
As mobile devices continue to evolve and compliance requirements change and evolve, AirWatch guarantees we will update our software to support any new requirements.
