How does AMP detect rogue APs?
RAPIDS uses a unique combination of wired and wireless network scans to detect potential unauthorized “rogue” APs anywhere on a network – even those that are out of range of your APs or sensors. AirWave uses existing, authorized APs to conduct wireless environmental RF scans to detect any unknown access points in range. Wireline scans detect the “fingerprints” of access points providing a comprehensive system for identifying rogue APs anywhere on the network. The RAPIDS module integrates this data and assigns each device a score reflecting the likelihood that it is an unauthorized rogue AP. When the device is detected via one or more wireless scans, the VisualRF module calculates and displays the rogue’s location.
