No Need to Rip and Replace, Just Add WIPS
Each WatchGuard access point has the flexibility to operate as both an access point and a dedicated WIPS security sensor. This means that when deployed as dedicated WIPS sensors, the devices work with your existing access points (Cisco, Aruba, Ruckus, Ubiquiti, etc) and add enterprise-grade wireless security protection to your network. In this case, instead of delivering secure Wi-Fi traffic to users, we deliver unprecedented WIPS security protection that is 100% dedicated to scanning the air and protecting your business from wireless threats.
“Being able to provide fast and secure Wi-Fi to our customers and employees is a must for our business. We chose WatchGuard’s Total Wi-Fi package because it gave us the Wi-Fi security we need. The solution has all the additional capabilities we couldn’t live without such as, engaging with our customers on social media even after they leave our shops. The analytics we receive from the Wi-Fi cloud also helps us drive business growth.”
