Keep Wi-Fi rogues under control
t?s critical to scan the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz airwaves across all 802.11a/b/g Wi-Fi channels (both local and international ones) to detect ?rogue? devices in your Wi-Fi network. Among the situations you will likely want to quash:
* Unauthorised Wi-Fi access points (AP) connected to your network.
* Authorised Wi-Fi client devices mistakenly associating to an unauthorised AP.
* Unauthorised Wi-Fi clients connecting to your own authorised APs.
With a wireless intrusion detection and prevention system (WIDP), you define a rogue by your own organisation?s policy and program the system how to treat one if discovered. The various available WIDP systems can detect differing variables about devices in your airspace.
