Securing Your Networks – Rogue Access Point Detection
AirWave’s RAPIDS module automatically detects any
unauthorized ‘rogue’ access points on your network through a combination
of wired and wireless network scans. This ensures that you know
about even those hard-to-detect rogues in remote offices, far outside
the range of any of your own wireless access points or sensors.
When RAPIDS detects rogue devices
wirelessly, it automatically calculates and displays the likely physical
location of the unauthorized device.
The RAPIDS software assesses every device on your network and
assigns it a score (from 1-5) reflecting the likelihood that the device
is a rogue. When a likely rogue is identified, RAPIDS sends you a high
priority alert containing critical information to enable you to locate
and remove the device, including: switch and port data, MAC address (LAN
and radio), IP address, SSID, channel, security settings, and more.
