SUNNYVALE, Calif., June 1, 2009 — AirMagnet Inc., the leader in security, performance and compliance solutions for wireless LANs (WLANs), today announced that Fuddruckers, the famous restaurant chain that is home to "the world's greatest hamburgers," has selected AirMagnet Enterprise to help guarantee wireless PCI compliance. Fuddruckers, established in 1980, currently operates more than 220 restaurant locations across the United States.

As data theft continues to evolve and make the headlines, companies are becoming more sensitive to achieving PCI compliance. PCI security standards are technical and operational requirements set by the PCI Security Standards Council to protect cardholder data. It offers merchants that use payment cards a single approach to safeguard sensitive data.

"The latest PCI standards have very strict requirements for securing a wireless network or ensuring a wired network does not have rogue or unauthorized wireless access points," said Cameron Pumphrey, Director of IT at Fuddruckers. "To comply with wireless elements of PCI, we previously had to send someone out to each restaurant location to physically survey the network and identify any rogue or unauthorized APs. This not only required extensive human resources, but also cost the company a lot of money in travel and shipping. We deployed AirMagnet Enterprise because the product allows us to remotely manage our networks and detect in real-time any rogue device on the network that may violate the PCI standard."

AirMagnet technology helps address some of the basic requirements of the PCI DSS for wireless networks and devices. Among other things, AirMagnet ensures that only authorized wireless devices access the network and no vendor-supplied defaults linger on active devices. In addition, AirMagnet includes an intrusion detection system and regularly tests devices for known vulnerabilities. When systems are breached or vulnerabilities are identified, AirMagnet sends configurable alerts to administrators so they can take action and meet compliance guidelines.

"When it comes to retail environments and cardholder information, it's vital to protect and monitor the network to ensure integrity of the data," said Chris Roeckl, VP of Marketing at AirMagnet. "AirMagnet Enterprise has been designed to deliver the highest levels of security and performance management. This includes allowing customers to easily and effectively meet strict compliance guidelines, such as PCI, and remotely monitor networks from a central location."

AirMagnet Enterprise provides a simple, scalable WLAN monitoring solution that enables customers to proactively mitigate all types of wireless threats, enforce enterprise policies, prevent performance problems and audit the regulatory compliance of all their Wi-Fi assets and users worldwide. The enterprise WLAN monitoring solution offers complete visibility and control over the wireless airspace, enabling the company to reliably deliver the same standards of security, performance and compliance for their wireless networks as they expect from their wired networks.

About Fuddruckers
Back in 1980, a simple Texan began a singular quest. He searched high and low seeking the best that a hamburger could be. He hungered for perfection in an imperfect world. All he found were warmed-over compromises between bland slices of bread. He built his own burger and his own burger place right in the heart of San Antonio, Texas. Over twenty-five years later, we at Fuddruckers still hold true to our simple recipe and values: 100% USDA fresh ground beef, buns made from scratch every morning and throughout the day, and farm-fresh produce and all the other fabulous "fixins" that make your hamburger truly yours... because there are no shortcuts to perfection. Today, Fuddruckers stands as a shrine to the Burger Arts — and the only place in the world where you can find the "World's Greatest Hamburgers." In fact, a CitySearch™ poll has called Fuddruckers "America's Best" in cities across the nation.
