Detection of vulnerable devices in wireless networks

A system for detecting vulnerable wireless devices coexisting in a wireless environment of an organization, comprising:

• a processing circuitry;
• and
• a memory, the memory containing instructions that, when executed by the processing circuitry, configure the system to:
• identify a plurality of wireless devices operable in the wireless environment;
• for each identified wireless device:
• receive intercepted traffic transmitted by the wireless device, wherein the intercepted traffic is transported using at least one type of wireless protocol;
• analyze the received traffic to determine if the wireless device is vulnerable, wherein the analysis is performed using at least a profile generated for the wireless device;
• and
• generate an alert, when it is determined that the wireless device is vulnerable.

A non-transitory computer readable medium having stored thereon instructions for causing one or more processing units to execute a process for detecting vulnerable wireless devices coexisting in a wireless environment of an organization, the process comprising:

• identifying a plurality of wireless devices operable in the wireless environment;
• for each identified wireless device:
• receiving intercepted traffic transmitted by the wireless device, wherein the intercepted traffic is transported using at least one type of wireless protocol;
• analyzing the received traffic to determine if the wireless device is vulnerable, wherein the analysis is performed using at least a profile generated for the wireless device;
• and
• generating an alert, when it is determined that the wireless device is vulnerable.
