UNIQUELY EFFECTIVE APPROACH TO SECURITY

The AP327X supports the only Wireless Intrusion Prevention System (WIPS)
in the industry with high accuracy in classifying access points and client
devices, properly enabling automatic prevention of Wi-Fi threats and keeping
a network protected from wireless man-in-the middle attacks, evil twins,
honeypots, and more.

FLEXIBLE MANAGEMENT OPTIONS

You can manage the AP327X with either a Firebox®, via the Gateway Wireless
Controller and receive a lightweight feature set, or with WatchGuard’s
Wi-Fi Cloud.

With the Wi-Fi Cloud you get an expanded set of features including patented
security, marketing tools, network visibility and troubleshooting, location­based analytics for optimal business insights. IT pros can also enjoy an entirely
controller-less Wi-Fi management experience including set up, conguration,
monitoring, troubleshooting, and improved corporate and guest Wi-Fi access,
without worrying about the limitations of legacy controller infrastructure.
Wi-Fi Cloud environments easily scale from one to an unlimited number of
access points across multiple locations. Access points can be grouped in many
ways including location, building, oor, and customer to maintain
consistent policies.

INTELLIGENT NETWORK VISIBILITY AND TROUBLESHOOTING

Wi-Fi Cloud helps IT professionals condently provide answers to the most
challenging Wi-Fi network questions, bringing the most complete set of
Wi-Fi visibility, troubleshooting, and network health features ever introduced
to the market. Pinpoint meaningful network problems and application
issues by seeing when an anomaly occurs above baseline thresholds and
remotely troubleshoot.*
