Recently, a ?Wireless in the Enterprise? reader reported being forced to disable intrusion-prevention monitoring within shared, multi-tenant locations because the wireless scanning system was generating a confusing abundance of red herrings, or ?false positives,? from neighboring access points.
The thought of anyone forced to turn off security caused my anxiety level to spike.
It turns out that economics preclude the use of a third-party overlay monitoring system at the reader?s company, which opted instead for a combination access point (AP)/scanning system built by its Wi-Fi systems vendor. This is a pure example of the ?insurance policy? nature of network security, which boils down to balancing how much you invest with the potential impact of a compromise to your organization. Avoid 'false positives' during Wi-Fi intrusion monitoring
