HOTSPOT...

Not sure if this should go in here, Security, Windows 10, Data Protection or Wireless Networks...

 

Last thing Friday I just happened to flick through the Cisco Meraki page and saw a teacher laptop had connected during the school day...

 

Not unusual I hear you say... however our Meraki doesn't get through the filtering and so only connects outside of school (as they sometimes take their laptops home or to other schools/meetings)... but the thing is I know this teacher was at school all day!

 

Looking a bit deeper, I find an SSID in the 'Preferred SSIDs' list called 'TEACHER X iPHONE' and there is also another called 'ANDROIDAP1234' in the list as well.

 

Now, they could always have done this at home or elsewhere if they had no network/Wi-Fi, but looking at the connection log I can see the iPhone connected at the time in question.

 

I'm obviously going to have to speak to the Headteacher about this as it is against policy and although I am concerned about Network Security (however, they could always pick up a nasty at home), there is also a Safeguarding aspect (which is where I think my strongest argument will be).

 

I guess I am going to have to rely on the soft 'against policy' quiet word from the Headteacher approach, but I just want to double check there is no hard 'SYSTEM/GPO' approach to this other than to block all other SSIDs somehow (which I know is not going to be acceptable)...?
