Device Placement on the Layout Model

7.2.8Sensor Threat View

This view displays the area beyond the detection and prevention ranges of the Sensors. It shows the areas with security lapses, which may be subjected to different kinds of threats and attacks. This view enables you to identify the type of threat depending on the type of device: AP, Sensor, and Client. The risk/safety levels are color‐coded. It helps you identify the number of Sensors needed to adequately cover the layout against threats.

Planner supports the following types of threats:

•Rogue AP

•Honeypot AP

•Ad hoc connection

•DoS Attack

•MAC Spoofing

•Client Misassociation
