1. A method for providing a security exposure analysis of one or more wireless networks within a selected local geographic region using at least one security exposure representation, the method comprising:

  • providing a selected geographic region, the selected geographic region comprising a layout;

    generating a computer model of the selected local geographic region including the layout;

    inputting information associated with one or more components of a wireless network into the computer model, the one or more components including at least one or more sniffer devices;

    determining signal intensity characteristics of the one or more components of the wireless network over at least a portion of the selected geographic region using the computer model;

    generating information associated with a security exposure view using at least the signal intensity characteristics of the one or more components, the information comprising an ability of at least one of the sniffer devices to at least detect at least one intruder device in at least the portion of the selected geographic region and to at least prevent at least one intruder device in at least the portion of the selected geographic region from undesirable wireless communication;

    displaying a prevention region associated with the security exposure view on a first portion of a display; and

    displaying a detection region associated within the security exposure view on a second portion of a display.
