2. Rogue network devices range from wireless access points and personal laptops to any unmanaged asset connected to the corporate network. Organizations manage this risk using different controls, such as Network Address Control (NAC), 801.x authentication, separate Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) networks, and scanning for non-sanctioned or unknown devices. These unmanaged devices represent a significant threat as they can provide threat actors with an extremely flexible platform to enumerate and compromise the network in ways, which IT-managed devices may restrict.
