IT Weekly Roundup, Dec. 3

From the business wires this week: a Wi-Fi firewall, Web content management solution and more Intel Xeon servers.

AirTight Networks released SpectraGuard 2.0, a Wi-Fi firewall that protects enterprises from wireless security threats. The network security solution instantly detects and classifies all RF activity within its sensor range, and blocks rogue and misconfigured access points and insecure or unauthorized client connections. SpectraGuard 2.0 also provides pinpoint tracking of all Wi-Fi devices and events, and the ability to accurately determine the best placement of sensors to eliminate coverage holes and dead spots. Pricing for a Starter Kit begins at $7,500 for the software version of the Policy Management Server (also available as a 1U rack-mount appliance) and dual radio 802.11 a/b/g SpectraSensors. http://www.airtightnetworks.net
