Vulnerability Assessment

Using your existing sensor deployment, Vulnerability Assessment scans your wireless network for vulnerabilities utilizing a hacker's point-of-view. This allows you to:

• Identify network security issues before a hacker does
• Remotely scan for and discover wireless network vulnerabilities
• Generate alarms to bring attention to vulnerabilities.

The assessment is accomplished by using deployed sensors as a wireless client to connect to an AP and scan network resources. Vulnerability Assessment can be run automatically or manually, providing proactive notification that network resources may be compromised.

Note

Vulnerability Assessment is only supported on the legacy sensors M510 and M520 with firmware version 5.3 or later installed. Vulnerability Assessment is also supported on the AP650 and AP7131 sensors with WiNG 5.1 or later installed.
