User Training It won’t help (much) to configure your devices to avoid

automatic connections if your users still select any open Wi-Fi network or

agree to any pairing request without considering the consequences. Similarly,

your network will be at risk if your users don’t recognize any of the warning

signs that their connection to your organization’s secure Wi-Fi network has

been intercepted by an evil-twin wireless access point (WAP). Teach them

Wi-Fi Analyzer In addition to using a Wi-Fi analyzer for tasks such as

figuring out what channel a network should use, optimizing WAP placement,

or finding dead spots, you can use one to map out nearby networks (see

Figure 25-16). Most of these are probably genuine networks in neighboring

buildings or offices, but there’s always a chance someone will set up a WAP

for the wrong reasons.
