Fix Recommendation

Remove wireless network devices with direct connections to an enclave network. If feasible, reconfigure network connections to isolate the WLAN infrastructure from the enclave network, separating them with a firewall or equivalent protection.

Check Contents

Review network architecture with the network administrator.

1. Verify compliance by inspecting the site network topology diagrams.
2. Since many network diagrams are not kept up to date, walk through the connections with the network administrator using network management tools or diagnostic commands to verify the diagrams are current.

If the site's wireless infrastructure, such as access points and bridges, is not isolated from the enclave network, this is a finding.
