About

WIPS or Wireless Intrusion Prevention System is a term from the Wi-Fi industry that refers to the prevention of Wi-Fi threats, and at WatchGuard we have taken it to the next level. Our WIPS is unlike any other competing Wi-Fi security solution on the market. WatchGuard's patented technology ensures you have the real, accurate, and automated Wi-Fi protection that your business needs. Each WatchGuard access point (AP) has the flexibility to operate as both an access point and a dedicated WIPS security sensor protecting any 3rd party brand access points. Deploy WatchGuard APs managed with Wi-Fi Cloud and enjoy Trusted Wireless Environment compliant Wi-Fi, intelligent network visibility and troubleshooting features, captive portals , and location-based analytics. Just add WatchGuard APs as a security sensor to your existing infrastructure and protect any 3rd party brand access points 24/7.
