A library floor walk finds a printer softAP advertising WPS while corporate controllers look clean. Why does that matter for Domain 6 inventory?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
The controller can look perfect while a printer in the stacks runs its own little WPS carnival. Unmanaged softAPs are real inventory—easy to miss, easy to abuse. Sweep beyond the shiny enterprise dashboard.
Full Explanation
Assessment scope must include unmanaged consumer-style softAPs such as printers that frequently ship with WPS enabled and sit outside controller-enforced baselines. Those devices can yield passphrase recovery paths even when enterprise APs are hardened. Scans showing WPS on printers are plausible, not automatic false positives, and controller policy does not magically cover independent softAPs.
