ABSTRACT:
A system for monitoring a wireless network is provided. The system includes a security network including a plurality of monitoring devices coupled to a centralized security manager. The security network is operable to manage access to a data network associated with a plurality of authorized devices. Each monitoring device is operable to receive packets communicated from one or more wireless device and communicate one or more of the packets to the centralized security manager. Each packet is associated with a communication session. The centralized security manager is operable to receive and analyze the one or more packets communicated from each monitoring device. The centralized security manager is further operable to determine whether a particular communication session is valid based on the analysis of at least one particular packet associated with a particular wireless device, and to communicate an alert if the particular communication session is not valid.
