Cisco Blog > Mobility
Last week my colleague Sai discussed our partnership with Meridian. To continue the MSE Blog Series, I’m going to take you on a journey to dig deep into one of the features of Release 7.4, wIPS!
With the increasing popularity of BYOD, wireless security has become an eminent concern for Network Administrators. Cisco Unified Wireless Intrusion Prevention Solution (WIPS) is dedicated to protecting the wireless network security and provide a secure wireless experience to the clients. Cisco, allied with Flukes Networks, to constantly monitor new wireless intrusion techniques, develop new signatures and provide preventive solutions. In 7.4 release, we added the capability of detecting 802.11 frame fuzzing attacks. The new signatures patterns, for detecting such attacks, are available through WIPS profile configuration in NCS. These signature patterns are enabled by default and provide the full level of security. The user, however, could tune them to get the desired protection level.

With the ever growing demands placed on IT organizations to “do more with less” it is becoming apparent that the way we deploy the network infrastructure, how we administer policies and how we manage the whole thing needs to evolve.
Why is IT spending so much time maintaining separate wired, wireless and VPN networks? We need to focus on the business that is banging on the door telling you to support more mobile and wired devices, more bandwidth hungry applications and extend that support well beyond the walls of corporate facilities.
How can we simplify how IT operates and still deliver a high-performance, high-quality connected experience? Cisco Unified Access can help! We announced the webinar series earlier this week, and part 1 is just around the corner.
In next Wednesday’s webinar (CLICK TO REGISTER) we will discuss:
- The industry perspective regarding challenges surrounding, BYOD, Mobility and the Internet of Everything
- The latest Cisco technology that can help you simplify and optimize you network
- How a unified access network can improve performance and operations
- Deploying consistent and contextual policies will improve access control and enforcement
- How reducing operational complexity can accelerate device deployment and end user problem resolution.

In the last MSE Blog, you were taken through how to monetize your WLAN using location analytics. Today I am going to expand on our partnership with Meridian.
The Cisco MSE enables location-based services and has an ecosystem of partners that use the MSE to create location-based apps. One such partner is Meridian, which is a mobile software company that uses the MSE to provide location based services in it’s mobile app. Prior to the 7.4 MSE release, venue owners using Meridian and MSE to provide indoor location and way-finding in their mobile app found it a real challenge to make MSE work with Meridian. First they would have to provide Meridian with the venue maps, then wait for Meridian to create an account for them and then finally open up the MSE to be accessed by Meridian’s server.
In 7.4, we set out to simplify and automate this whole process. Starting this release, integration between MSE and Meridian is made painless and easy with a single click. Enabling the mobile app integration on MSE will allow the MSE to send the venue maps to Meridian without having to open the MSE for inbound access. An account is created for the venue in Meridian’s CMS and the best part is that you can immediately launch Meridian’s mobile app and look at the maps and if you are at the venue, you can see your own location indicated with a blue dot.
The real magic happens behind the scenes on the MSE. Read More »

The ever-increasing number of devices and applications coming into the workplace poses complex challenges for the enterprise. As a result, IT must adapt the ways in which they enable, manage, and secure end-user access.
- How will the network handle increased demand for bring-your-own-device (BYOD) policies and mobility?
- How can IT maintain raised expectations for wired devices, while improving the end-user experience?
To solidify IT as a key contributor in driving better business processes, IT teams must shift from maintaining the network to delivering innovative, connected experiences. The key to success is to simplify the network, and Cisco Unified Access does just that.
Mark your calendars for our five-part webinar series to learn how to create an effective, unified access strategy. Find out how to transform IT to better address the demands of BYOD and next-generation technology.
