Global Wireless Intrusion Detection and Prevention Systems (WIPDS) Market 2025 by Manufacturers, Regions, Type and Application, Forecast to 2031

According to our (Global Info Research) latest study, the global Wireless Intrusion Detection and Prevention Systems (WIPDS) market size was valued at US$ 1550 million in 2024 and is forecast to a readjusted size of USD 3085 million by 2031 with a CAGR of 10.4% during review period.

Wireless intrusion detection systems (WIDS) and wireless intrusion protection systems (WIPS) are used to continuously protect a wireless network and in some cases, a wired network, from unauthorized users. There are some basic differences between the two systems. In a WIDS, a system of sensors is used to monitor the network for the intrusion of unauthorized devices, such as rogue access points. In a WIPS, the system not only detects unauthorized devices, but also takes steps to mitigate the threat by containing the device and detaching it from the wireless network.

WIDS and WIPS operate 24/7 and generally require no management or admin involvement. They guard the wireless local area network (WLAN) on a constant basis and listen to all radio traffic within the WLAN"s operating frequencies. There are many similarities between WIDS and WIPS, and most of the systems currently available fundamentally act as a WIPS because they are designed to detect and prevent wireless intrusion.The typical WIPS has three components: a server, a management console, and a collection of distributed sensors.

The WIPS server can be either hardware- or software-based. The server performs system management and configuration tasks, signature, behavior and protocol analysis, as well as radio frequency (RF) spectrum analysis to detect intrusion.Signature analysis monitors traffic for patterns associated with known attacks, such as denial of service (DoS) and man-in-the-middle attacks. Behavior analysis looks for anomalies in message behavior such as the use of purposefully malformed management frames that allow an attacker to observe the network"s resulting behavior. This behavior may reveal flaws in security or application programming that would allow intrusion. While signature analysis looks for known attack patterns, behavioral analysis looks for anomalous patterns that could indicate a new attack. Behavioral analysis also compares historical usage metrics to anomalous traffic to indicate unusual traffic that may be an attempt to probe vulnerable systems.

Protocol analysis is used to inspect and disassemble layer-2 information—the MAC protocol data unit (MPDU)—to discover anomalies in the frame header and trailer. Protocol analysis is also used to dissect the layer 3 to 7 data contained in the frame body, which contains the payload. This is referred to as the MAC service data unit (MSDU). Both the MPDU and MSDU data are analyzed for spurious data that could be leveraged to compromise the security or medium arbitration functions of the system.RF Spectrum analysis is used to monitor the frequency on which the system is operating for unwanted or damaging signals.

A common DoS attack method is a transmitter continuously transmitting on the operating frequency, which can disable a Wi-Fi system. Bluetooth devices, baby monitors, and microwave ovens can be disrupted by 2.4-GHz systems. Better WIPS can do sophisticated signature analysis and identify these harmless sources of interferences and locate them for mitigation. One of the benefits of spectrum analysis is the ability to identify and locate sources of interference, whether malicious or otherwise.
