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.
