Wireless IDS/IPS

The challenges that the Wireless IDS/IPS service address:

• Continuous monitoring and alert for unauthorized wireless units.
• Securing the wireless environment for the business.
• Prevent unauthorized wireless units to connect to the network.

Wireless networks are not only susceptible to TCP/IP-based attacks native to wired networks, they are also subject to a wide array of 802.11-specific threats. Wired IDS/IPS systems can not detect and prevent these 802.11-specific threats. These threats range from physical exploits, frequency jamming causing interference, rogue access-point performing man-in-the-middle-attack, Ad-Hoc devices to misconfigured access-points. Besides these threats, a Wireless IDS/IPS can also be used for wireless LAN policy enforcement.

Threats can be traced and blocked wirelessly, or at the wired port, and intrusion forensics can be saved for evidence and future analysis. You can also view a physical map of your environment to pinpoint the exact location of every threat. Countermeasures can be performed very precisely at that specific location.

The service provides:

• Wireless IDS/IPS sensors installed and configured in the customer's environment and continuous updates of IDS/IPS sensors.
• Managed IDS/IPS equipment and investigation specialists available 24/7.
