A false negative, i.e., network connected AP called as not connected, results in security hole as it can cause rogue access point (AP) to go unnoticed. A false positive, i.e., network unconnected AP called as connected, results in nuisance and also creates hindrance to initiating to automated blocking.  [...] [...] Robust detection of wireless access points’ connectivity (or non-connectivity) to the enterprise network being protected lies at the heart of security and manageability aspects of the WIPS.
