While traveling, it is common to connect to available Wi-Fi networks to access the internet for business or pleasure. Many open Wi-Fi networks are traps where malicious attackers prey on victims looking to connect to any available access point to gain access to the victim’s information.The Threat Zones tile is displayed in the app if the “Threat Zone / Danger Zone” feature is enabled in the console.Threat zones provide information to the user if nearby available networks should be avoided (high-risk networks). This feature is also referred to as Danger Zones. Before deciding which network to connect to, open the app and tap Threat Zones.If users do not check Cynet 360 Mobile application before connecting to a network and connect to a high- risk network, an alert is sent as a warning that the user is connecting to a high-risk network with recommendations for the next actions.The Cynet 360 Mobile console administrator can customize whether the Threat Zones tile displays, and also which alerts are sent for threat zone functionality. The alert text displays are configured with settings on the console Policy page, just as other threats are managed. In addition, on their device, the user can indicate that a particular network should be trusted, and then they are not prompted again. For more information on these settings.Threat Zone MapThe screenshot below shows the map that initially displays, based on the location of the user. This map shows red markers of high-risk networks nearby. The red icons with numbers on them represent the number of threats detected on high-risk access points. The user can zoom in and out using two-finger actions on the screen.Pressing an icon dives deeper into the location chosen, and eventually to the SSID for nearby or unsecured Wi-Fi networks.Alerts for Threat ZonesAn alert displays if the user connects to a known high-risk network when the policy is configured for alerts. The alert also contains the following information:The name of the high-risk network.A recommendation to disconnect from that network.An optional configuration alerts the user if the user is not connected to a Wi-Fi network and near a known high-risk network. Nearby networks are only evaluated while Wi-Fi is enabled and not connected. The app scans nearby networks and alerts on any that are known to be high-risk.If the app discovers a nearby network that is a known high-risk network, the user is alerted and provided a list of known nearby networks. The app continues to check for risky networks after the device has moved greater than 500 meters and after 10 minutes.Network List DisplayWhen Threat Zone is enabled by the administrator, the known networks flag any high-risk network as Alert: Danger Zone detected. Do not connect to a network that is marked as a Danger Zone or Threat Zone network. This signifies the network has had known critical or elevated attacks on it.
