You are concerned about rogue wireless access points being connected to your network. What is the best way to detect and prevent these?

A wireless site survey involves using scanning tools to enumerate all access points broadcasting within a facility, allowing administrators to identify any APs not on the approved list. This method detects rogues regardless of whether they appear in management software. Follow-up physical inspection can then locate and remove unauthorized devices.

Protocol analyzers capture and decode network traffic but cannot reliably enumerate all wireless APs across the physical environment or identify their physical location.

Anti-spyware software targets malicious software installed on endpoints and has no capability to detect unauthorized network hardware devices.

Anti-virus software detects and removes malware from host systems and cannot identify rogue hardware devices attached to the network.
