Abstract
In one embodiment, a method includes collecting, by a device and from each of one or more access points over time within a monitored location, a plurality of hash values, each of the plurality of hash values based on a combination of a plurality of location-related metrics for a respective access point of the one or more access points and calculating, by the device, a baseline hash value for each access point of the one or more access points, each baseline hash value correlated to actual location-related metrics from which each baseline hash value was computed. The method further includes detecting, by the device, an anomalous change in a particular collected hash value of the plurality of hash values from at least one access point of the one or more access points, obtaining, by the device and in response to the anomalous change, a plurality of non-hashed location-related metrics from the at least one access point, and performing, by the device, a security analysis action based on the plurality of non-hashed location-related metrics.
