| The risk of a DoD mobile device being attacked via a rogue Wi-Fi access point is higher than for a rogue cellular access point. Therefore, the mobile device should be configured so it does not automatically connect to a Wi-Fi access point. The user should acknowledge and approve the connection to any Wi-Fi access point to minimize the risk of sensitive data on the device being exposed. |
