Threat index based wlan security and quality of service

A computer-implemented method comprising:

• receiving, at a wireless access point, a request from a client device connected to the wireless access point via a wireless link;
• determining, a threat index value for the client device, wherein the threat index value is determined based on an identification of the client device, wherein the identification of the client device is based on detected physical characteristics of the client device;
• selecting one or more security policies associated with one or more respective network resources based at least in part on the threat index value, wherein each security policy includes respective one or more rules for allocating one of the network resources;
• and
• allocating one or more of the network resources to the client device based on the one or more security policies.

A system comprising:

• one or more processors coupled to a computer-readable medium having stored thereon software instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:
• receiving, at a wireless access point, a request from a client device connected to the wireless access point via a wireless link;
• determining a threat index value for the client device based on one or more radio frequency (RF) characteristics of the client device, wherein the one or more RF characteristics comprise an angle of arrival, a beamforming characteristic, or a received signal strength indicator (RSSI);
• selecting one or more security policies associated with one or more respective network resources based at least in part on the threat index value, wherein each security policy includes respective one or more rules for allocating one of the network resources;
• and
• allocating one or more of the network resources to the client device based on the one or more security policies.
