Hotspot SSIDs
It is highly likely that hotspot APs are present in the enterprise neighborhood. If enterprise Client probes for well
known hotspot SSID, it is at risk of connecting to the hotspot AP without the user necessarily knowing about it. Also
if enterprise AP uses hotspot SSID on it, such an AP may attract undesirable Clients to connect to it.
If you consider an SSID to be vulnerable to hackers, you can open the Hotspot SSIDs screen and enter the SSID
under SSID (ASCII character string). Click Add and then Apply to place the SSID in your database. If an AP with a
vulnerable SSID is detected, the system generates an event.
Note: The system lists commonly known SSIDs by default. To enter a blank SSID: that is, with no string, click
<Add> without entering any text. The list shows the SSID as NULL.
