Configuring Wireless Access Control
===================================

Genian NAC has features aimed at addressing the most common concerns relating
to wireless network administration.

Detecting Rogue Access Points
-----------------------------

Rogue access points within your networks, can be easily identified, and
blocked. Any devices and users associated with use of the rogue access point
can also be identified.

Unauthorized Network Connections
--------------------------------

The wireless sensor is capable of detecting when devices connect to an SSID
that does not belong to your organization. This makes it easy to block devices
that may have been compromised and easily identify users who are breaking
device usage policies.

A nodes connected SSID can be seen in the Node Management window, the WLAN
Management window or in the Logs section.

Both **Rogue Access Points** and **Unauthorized Connections** can by identified
in the following locations:

- :doc:`/monitoring/network-nodes/browsing-nodes`
- :doc:`/monitoring/wireless-lan`
- :doc:`/events`

SSID Whitelisting
-----------------

Using information collected about SSIDs in your area, you can create an SSID
whitelist. Through use of the endpoint agent (Windows), connections to any SSID
not on the white list can be disabled.

**See:**

- :doc:`/endpoints/wlan-interface`

Wlan Client Provisioning
------------------------

By configuring the connection settings for your preferred wireless networks on
the Policy Server, the correct network configuration can be automatically
distributed to end user devices through use of the endpoint agent (Windows).
