Wireless and Dual Connectivity

With the proliferation of WiFi and 3G networks, users may intentionally or unintentionally be connected to an outside network while simultaneously being connected to the corporate network. Dual connectivity opens up a back door to the network, enabling users to bypass the corporate firewall, reach web sites that are closed to internal network users, and unintentionally download malware.

With dual connectivity, there is potential that an employee will leak data by transferring files from the corporate internal network out through an unauthorized network, either intentionally or unintentionally,

Promisec identifies dual connectivity and can isolate computers which are connected to 3G or unauthorized wireless networks while connected to the internal network.
