Detecting Clients with Weak or No Encryption
Securing your wireless traffic is crucial to providing the flexibility of mobile, on-demand access to your
enterprise network. Using wireless technology, your network traffic is no longer protected by the
physical boundaries of your wired network. To prevent eavesdropping and interception of your critical
data, you must monitor and control the clients accessing your wireless networks.
EPICenter provides the tools to determine the security abilities of the clients accessing your wireless
network. Use the Current Clients Report to detect clients with weak or no encryption. This report can
be sorted to show client encryption in order or you can filter the report to show no encryption or weak
encryption like WEP64. To filter the report for encryption settings, follow these steps:
1 Click the Reports button in the EPICenter navigation bar to open the Reports browser.
2 Select the Current Clients Report.
3 Set the Encryption filter to None or WEP64 and press the Submit button.
Figure shows an example of a Current Clients Report filtered for clients with no encryption enabled.
