Best Practices for Rogue Detection and Annihilation

Overview Wireless LANs can greatly increase productivity and flexibility by providing anytime-anywhere access to business networks and systems. The same properties that make WLANs so convenient, however, can also leave them vulnerable to misuse and attack by unauthorized or malicious devices. To safely tap the full potential of WLANs, companies must take steps to find and annihilate these so-called Rogues. This paper explains what rogue access points and stations are, why they present a business risk, and how apply industry best practices to effectively detect, block, locate, and eliminate rogues.
