As the chief security officer at SecureMobile, you are overseeing the development of a mobile banking application. You are aware of the potential risks of man-in-the-middle (MitM) attacks where an att

Two-factor authentication (2FA) strengthens user login security but does not prevent the interception of data *after* authentication or during subsequent transactions if an MitM attack is active on a compromised network.

A rogue access point mimics a legitimate one to lure users into connecting, allowing an attacker to intercept traffic for MitM attacks. Implementing a security feature that detects anomalies indicative of a rogue access point (e.g., duplicate SSIDs, weak encryption on an otherwise trusted network, or certificate pinning failures) and subsequently prevents the app from communicating can effectively mitigate the risk of data interception over untrusted networks.

While preventing connection to unencrypted Wi-Fi networks is a good security practice, rogue access points can often mimic encrypted networks and still perform MitM attacks once connected, making this measure insufficient alone.

Requiring regular password changes improves credential hygiene but does not address the underlying threat of network-level interception by a rogue access point.
