Wireless Intrusion Prevention System

Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard - Compliance and wireless LANs 1 In July 2009, the Payment Card Industry Security Standards Council published wireless guidelines for PCI DSS recommending the use of wireless intrusion prevention system (WIPS) to automate wireless scanning for large organizations. Wireless guidelines clearly define how wireless security applies to PCI DSS 1.2 compliance.

Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard - Wireless intrusion prevention system (WIPS) implementations 1 Wireless intrusion prevention systems are a possible option for compliance with some PCI DSS requirements, and can be implemented in either an internally hosted or externally hosted software as a service(SaaS) model.

Information Security Operations Center - Technology 1 SOCs typically are based around a security information and event management (SIEM) system which aggregates and correlates data from security feeds such as network discovery and vulnerability assessment systems; governance, risk and compliance (GRC) systems; web site assessment and monitoring systems, application and database scanners; penetration testing tools; intrusion detection systems (IDS); intrusion prevention system (IPS); log management systems; network behavior analysis and denial of service monitoring; wireless intrusion prevention system; firewalls, enterprise antivirus and unified threat management (UTM)

Rogue access point 1 To prevent the installation of rogue access points, organizations can install wireless intrusion prevention systems to monitor the radio spectrum for unauthorized access points.

Rogue access point 1 Presence of a large number of wireless access points can be sensed in airspace of a typical enterprise facility. These include managed access points in the secure network plus access points in the neighborhood. A wireless intrusion prevention system facilitates the job of auditing these access points on a continuous basis to learn whether there are any rogue access points among them.

Rogue access point 1 False positive (crying wolf) occurs when the wireless intrusion prevention system detects an access point not actually connected to the secure network as wired rogue. Frequent false positives result in wastage of administrative bandwidth spent in chasing them. Possibility of false positives also creates hindrance to enabling automated blocking of wired rogues due to the fear of blocking friendly neighborhood access point.

Rogue access point 1 False negative occurs when the wireless intrusion prevention system fails to detect an access point actually connected to the secure network as wired rogue. False negatives result in security holes.

Wireless Intrusion Detection System 1 In computing, a 'wireless intrusion prevention system' (WIPS) is a computer network|network device that monitors the radio spectrum for the presence of unauthorized Wireless access point|access points (intrusion detection), and can automatically take countermeasures (intrusion prevention).

Wireless security 1 Wireless Intrusion Prevention Systems (WIPS) or Wireless Intrusion Detection Systems (WIDS) are commonly used to enforce wireless security policies.

Wireless security - The mobility advantage 1 Wireless Intrusion Prevention Systems (WIPS) or Wireless Intrusion Detection Systems (WIDS) are commonly used to enforce wireless security policies.

Wireless security - Wireless intrusion prevention concepts 1 * For closed networks (like home users and organizations) the most common way is to configure access restrictions in the Wireless access point|access points. Those restrictions may include encryption and checks on MAC address. Another option is to disable ESSID broadcasting, making the access point difficult for outsiders to detect. Wireless Intrusion Prevention Systems can be used to provide wireless LAN security in this network model.

Wireless security - A wireless intrusion prevention system 1 A Wireless Intrusion Prevention System (WIPS) is a concept for the most robust way to counteract wireless security risks.[ PCI Security Standards Council] However such WIPS does not exist as a ready designed solution to implement as a software package

Wireless security - RF shielding 1 For closed networks (like home users and organizations) the most common way is to configure access restrictions in the access points. Those restrictions may include encryption and checks on MAC address. Another option is to disable ESSID broadcasting, making the access point difficult for outsiders to detect. Wireless Intrusion Prevention Systems can be used to provide wireless LAN security in this network model.
