UNIQUELY EFFECTIVE APPROACH TO SECURITY
Using patented Marker Packet technology, WatchGuard’s cloud-managed WIPS defends your airspace from unauthorized devices, man-in-the-middle and denial-of-service attacks, rogue APs and more. Now with a dedicated WIPS sensor included, the AP420 can be added to any existing Wi-Fi network for a powerful layer of patented security features simply unavailable in most APs.
ADVANTAGES OF CLOUD-BASED MANAGEMENT
WatchGuard’s secure Cloud-managed APs deliver the most comprehensive set of features for the price – including marketing tools for customizable user engagement and locationbased analytics for enhanced business insights. With the WatchGuard Wi-Fi Cloud, IT pros can enjoy an entirely controller-less Wi-Fi management experience including setup, configuration, monitoring, troubleshooting, and improving corporate and guest Wi-Fi access, without worrying about the limitations of legacy controller infrastructure. Wi-Fi Cloud environments easily scale from one to an unlimited number of APs across multiple locations. APs can be grouped in many ways, including location, building, floor, and customer to maintain consistent policies.
