Overview

For a rogue AP with wireless containment status as Partial, an i icon appears adjacent to Partial state under the Containment column in the Threat 360 window. Hover your cursor over the i icon to view the current wireless containment status of the Rogue SSIDs.

You can create a list of allowed vendors. Vendors on this list are not marked as High threats.

You can add five vendors in a single workflow for a set of sites.
