Wireless Intrusion Detection & Prevention

Overview Radio is an open medium, shared between anyone who is transmitting and/or receiving in the same RF spectrum. 802.11, the common standard used for enterprise Wireless LANs (WLAN), leverages unlicensed (i.e. public) radio bands for communication. This makes 802.11 wireless networks particularly susceptible to unauthorized intrusion and malicious attacks. Traditional WLAN deployments require the IT staff to physically monitor the air space with manual RF scanning devices to detect undesirable behavior. As this approach only yields a snapshot of activity and requires expensive human capital resources, it lacks effectiveness and is often cost prohibitive.
