County sheriff deputies' laptops sometimes join a neighboring agency's SSID that overlaps City Hall's RF footprint. Beyond reminding staff of the acceptable-use policy, which combined approach best reduces misassociation risk?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Misassociation is half policy and half RF/security plumbing. Lock the city SSID to 802.1X, keep junk SSIDs off the air, and let WIPS or MDM catch strays. Reminding people is fine; hoping they never see the wrong SSID is not a control.
Full Explanation
Client misassociation to neighboring SSIDs is a common multi-tenant RF problem. Strong enterprise authentication makes accidental joins less useful, unused SSIDs should not be advertised from city APs, and WIPS or endpoint policy can detect or prevent unauthorized associations. Simply broadcasting a weaker open network, disabling encryption, or powering APs off does not address the threat model.
