Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Wireless sensors are the devices that are at the heart of a Wireless Intrusion Detection System (WIDS). These sensors monitor the airwaves to detect signals from rogue access points. They may be separate hardware devices or a standard access point operating in a special "scan" mode. Captive portals, VPNs, and firewalls are not directly related to the monitoring of wireless networks for rogue access points.
