Advanced Denial of Service (DoS) protection keeps enterprises safe against a variety of other wireless attacks, including association and de-authentication floods, ‘honeypots’ and AP or station impersonations. Based on location signatures and client classification, Aruba access points will drop illegal requests and generate alerts to notify administrators of the attack. The system will report attacks to network administrators, and take proactive measures to prevent users from falling victim to these attacks.
Rogue APs
There are two types of ‘Rogue APs’; one that is not connected to your wired network and one that is. An unconnected Rogue AP could be set up inside your office by a contractor or well-meaning employee to provide wireless service to a small group of users. However, this AP is consuming precious spectrum and potentially creating co-channel interference with authorized enterprise APs in the area. A connected Rogue AP is when an employee or contractor takes a consumer-grade access point and plugs it into a nearby open network port to provide a personal hotspot.
