1. A method of generating alarms for wireless network monitoring comprising the steps of:

  • monitoring a wireless local area network;

    receiving events responsive to the monitoring step, wherein the events relate to security in the wireless local area network;

    correlating received events to triggers;

    raising an alarm responsive to one or more triggers being above a pre-defined threshold value;

    leaving the raised alarm unaffected by new events and new triggers correlated to the raised alarm thereby avoiding flooding of alarms based on a same event; and

    maintaining the alarm for a predetermined time following the one or more triggers being below the pre-defined threshold value;

    wherein the triggers are utilized in the method of generating alarms as an intermediate step between the received events and any associated alarm to reduce a volume of the generated alarms by correlating the received events with one another and with the generated alarms.
