| DoD networks are at risk, and DoD data could be compromised if wireless scanning is not conducted to identify unauthorized WLAN clients and access points connected to, or attempting to, connect to the network. DoD components will ensure a Wireless Intrusion detection System (WIDS) is implemented that allows for monitoring of WLAN activity and the detection of WLAN-related policy violations on all unclassified and classified DoD wired and wireless LANs. The WIDS shall be capable of monitoring Wi-Fi transmissions within all DoD LAN environments and detecting nearby unauthorized WLAN devices. WIDS are not required to monitor non-Wi-Fi transmissions. |
