Apparatus and method for monitoring security status of wireless network

Abstract

An apparatus for monitoring the security status of a wireless network is provided. The apparatus includes a radio frequency (RF) signal collection unit which collects at least one piece of RF signal information; a security event information collection unit which collects security event information including at least one of traffic information and alert information; a security event information mapping unit which maps the RF signal information and the security event information based on the correlation between the RF signal information and the security event information; and a security event information display unit which displays the result of the mapping performed by the security event information mapping unit. Therefore, it is possible to allow a network administrator to intuitively recognize the security status of a wireless network by collecting RF signal information and security event information from the wireless network, mapping the RF signal information and the security event information based on the correlation therebetween and displaying the result of the mapping.
