Wi-Fi Discovery Assessment
Discover all the Wi-Fi connected devices through real-time visibility , allowing for identification of malicious actors and also poorly secured personal devices.
What is a Wi-Fi Discovery Assessment?
Maintaining a secure network is crucial for any business, and understanding the Wi-Fi connected devices is a critical piece of that puzzle. These devices, ranging from laptops to smartwatches, can introduce security vulnerabilities if left unchecked.
We utilise sensors to address this challenge by providing real-time visibility into what is connected. This allows for the identification of unauthorised devices, malicious actors posing as common gadgets (cameras, phones), and even poorly secured personal devices that might be unknowingly exposing the network. By understanding your connected devices, you can proactively manage potential security risks and maintain a strong network defence.
What we do
Our sensors would be utilised to provide full coverage of the organisation’s premises. Over an agreed period, these sensors would collect the data required to identify all the Wi-Fi devices connecting to the network
Key Features of a Wi-Fi Discovery Assessment
Detailed Wi-Fi Analysis
Analyses of Wi-Fi packets captured, providing insights into network behaviour over duration of the project.
Historical Playback
Allows for network activity review where required, like a CCTV recording system, allowing you to investigate past events.
Device Identification
Recognises and identifies connected devices, including potentially malicious ones like cameras and IoT devices
Network Visualisation
Provides a bubble chart of all Wi-Fi networks and connected devices for easy understanding.
Advanced Search & Filtering
Search and filter devices by various criteria like MAC address, device type, or manufacturer.
Real-time Alerts
Receive notifications when suspicious activity is detected, such as unauthorised devices appearing in specific zones.
Reporting & Export
Easily generate reports with data and charts for further analysis (Excel, CSV, PNG).
PCAP Recording
Capture network traffic data (PCAP logs) for detailed postanalysis.
Key Benefits of a Wi-Fi Discovery Assessment
Enhanced Network Security
a) Gain complete visibility into all Wi-Fi connected devices, including laptops, phones, and IoT devices. b) Identification of unauthorised devices and potential security threats like malicious actors disguised as everyday gadgets. c) Ability to manage potential vulnerabilities associated with poorly secured personal devices on your network.
Improved Network Insights
a) Analyse detailed Wi-Fi traffic data to understand network behaviour and identify potential issues.
Threat Detection
a) Real-time alerts during the project to be notified of suspicious activity, such as unauthorised devices appearing in specific zones. b) Identifies potentially malicious devices like hidden cameras or compromised phones.
Data-Driven Decision Making
a) Comprehensive reports with charts and data to facilitate informed decisions about network security measures. b) Capture of network traffic data (PCAP logs) for deeper post-analysis and forensic investigations.
Streamlined Network Management
Provides a clear understanding of your connected devices to optimise network performance and resource allocation.
