Wireless Intrusion Detection and Prevention Systems
After quite some time of silence regarding my work on Wireless Intrusion Detection and Prevention Systems (WIDS / WIPS), I’m considering continuing that work. In past I have done research, published couple of papers on this topic at conferences and journals and also created concept, basic architecture and design of system and products. This possible “reactivating” of work is particularly pushed by recent interest of companies, organizations and institutions including commercial, government etc, and requirements of many production environments.
This is just brief description. If you are interested in more details or want to consider contribution or investment into this development send me e-mail. Continue reading
