A WIPS signature is the set or parameters, or pattern, used by WIPS to identify and categorize particular sets of attack
behaviors in order to classify them.
Name Displays the name of the excessive action event representing a potential threat to the
network. This column lists the event being tracked against the defined thresholds set for
interpreting the event as excessive or permitted.
Enable Displays whether tracking is enabled for each AP Anomaly event. Use the drop-down
menu to enable/disable events as required. A green check mark defines the event as
enabled for tracking against its threshold values. A red “X” defines the event as disabled
and not tracked by the WIPS policy. Each event is disabled by default.
