When enabling Wireless IDS/IPS infrastructure and client detection at a high level on HPE Aruba

Networking APs without enabling prevention settings, HPE Aruba Networking recommends

configuring detection at a custom level and adjusting settings to minimize false positives. This

approach allows for effective monitoring while reducing the risk of unnecessary alerts and

maintaining the accuracy of detections.

1. Custom Level Configuration: By customizing the detection settings, you can tailor the system to

your specific environment, ensuring that only relevant threats are detected and reducing false

positives.

2. False Positive Reduction: Disabling or tuning settings that are likely to produce false positives helps

in maintaining the reliability of the detection system and prevents alert fatigue.

3. Focused Detection: Custom configuration ensures that the IDS/IPS focuses on critical detections,

improving overall security posture.

Reference: Aruba’s Wireless IDS/IPS configuration guides and best practices emphasize the

importance of customizing detection settings to balance security needs with operational efficiency,

particularly when prevention features are not enabled.
