Black Hat USA 2012, one of the computer and networking security shows that took place in Las Vegas, Nevada last week, was offered secure Wireless LAN by Aruba Networks (News - Alert), Inc.

Aurba managed to cover a 200,000-square-foot facility in the Caesar's Palace Conference Center that included 23 mesh point Aruba AP-134 APs and 16 mesh portal Aruba AP-134 APs. Also included in the network were an Aruba 3600 Mobility Controller and an Aruba S3500 Mobility Access Switch.

The network was managed by Aruba's AirWave (News - Alert) network management system, which uses a user-centric approach to monitor network utilization, identify where the network is being accessed, the types of mobile devices in use and how much bandwidth is being consumed by specific devices.

Aruba engineer Robbie Gill, Ph.D., who led the design and deployment of the Black Hat network, said Black Hat USA provides an environment that puts Aruba's WLAN solutions to the test like no other.

"You simply don't see the kind of traffic, users or volume of security incidents that you see at Black Hat USA anywhere else,” Gill added. “This is the fourth year in a row that Black Hat USA has asked Aruba to provide the wireless network, reaffirming their confidence in the high level of performance and security we deliver to attendees. Our enterprise customers can feel secure knowing that Aruba WLANs can effectively handle the most difficult and hostile of environments."

More than 3,155 attendees used the installed network with a maximum of 904 simultaneous clients, detected and quickly contained a total of 1,561 severe independent security events.

Aruba Networks Mobile Virtual Enterprise (MOVE) architecture unifies wired and wireless network infrastructures into one seamless access solution for corporate headquarters, mobile business professionals, remote workers and guests.
