Wireless Intrusion Detection

Complies with PCI Requirement 11.1
Checks GCSx CoCo Requirement Must 11.1

SureCloud Wireless Analyzers can be deployed throughout the physical space of an organisation to continually monitor for Access Points that are not correctly configured (e.g. weak encryption) or that are unauthorized (i.e. rogue). The SureCloud platform is updated whenever new WLAN activity is identified, and this in turn can raise alerts to notify key personnel whom can then investigate. As the system can be used to track friendly or known Access Points, unauthorised Access Points can be identified, as can unauthorised activity against known Access Points, allowing organisations to easily manage wireless threats. The Events are reported via the Wireless Management Module within the SureCloud platform. Here is a summary of the capabilities of the SureCloud Wireless Analyzer:

  • 24/7 scanning for detectable Access Point broadcasts;
  • Management of known and unknown Access Points via the SureCloud platform;
  • Misconfigurations automatically raised as vulnerabilities via the SureCloud Vulnerability Management module such as:
    - No encryption / Open;
    - WEP Encryption;
    - WPA Encryption.
