Smart Security with Wireless Intrusion Prevention System
Wireless Intrusion Prevention (WIPS) is a term from the Wi-Fi industry that refers to the prevention of Wi-Fi threats, and at
WatchGuard we have taken it to the next level. Our WIPS is unlike any other competing Wi-Fi security solution on the market.
WatchGuard’s patented technology ensures you have the real, accurate, and automated Wi-Fi protection that your business needs.
WatchGuard’s Secure, Cloud-Managed Wi-Fi is the only solution that can:
• Automatically detect and prevent the six known Wi-Fi threat categories simultaneously while maintaining performance
• Support automatic detection and prevention of rogue APs, rogue clients and endpoints from communicating over an
ad-hoc Wi-Fi connection
• Automatically prevent connections to “evil twin” APs and dangerous connections to misconfigured APs such as private
SSIDs without encryption
• Integrate directly with on-premises wireless controllers and event log management services (Aruba, Cisco, HP, ArcSight,
Syslog) via the Cloud Integration Point (CIP) feature
What Makes WatchGuard’s Wi-Fi Security Unique?
You need proof that the security solution that defends your business against Wi-Fi attacks can provide
automatic protection from the six known Wi-Fi threat categories, allow legitimate external access points
to operate in the same airspace, and restrict users from connecting to unsanctioned Wi-Fi access points.

Selling Tip: No Need to Rip and Replace, Just Add Security. Each WatchGuard access point has
the flexibility to operate as both an access point and a dedicated WIPS security sensor. This
means that when deployed as dedicated WIPS sensors, the devices work with your existing
access points (Cisco Meraki, Aruba, Ruckus, etc.) and add enterprise-grade wireless security
protection to your network. In this case, instead of delivering secure Wi-Fi traffic to users, we
deliver unprecedented WIPS security protection that is 100% dedicated to scanning the air
and protecting your business from wireless threats.
