Figure 1-20: HP RF Manager
The HP RF Manager Controller works with HP MSM415 and HP AirProtect 5750 and
SS-300 security sensors to detect and prevent wireless intrusions and threats—such
asthreatsfrom rogue APs, denial-of-service (DoS) attacks, and WEP-cracking attacks.
This device analyzes the wireless traffic samples its sensors collect to:
-Detect all APs and wireless clients in the area
-Classify these devices according to their proper functions and the security policies you configure
-Monitor each AP and client for inappropriate behavior
In addition to detecting a variety of DoS attacks and WEP-cracking attacks, RFmanager notifies
you when it detects a potential attack on more secure WPA-basedWLAN security.
It constantly logs information about security events and uses this information to providea variety of
reports—including automated regulatory-compliance reports for standardssuch as Payment Card
Industry (PCI), Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX), Health InsurancePortability and Accountability Act
(HIPAA), and many others.
RF Manager Controller comes with a 50-sensor license, which you can expand to 250licenses via
four 50-sensor license upgrades.
