A system comprising:

• one or more memories collectively storing computer-executable instructions;

• one or more processors configured to collectively execute the computer-executable instructions and cause the system to:
• receive, at a first network device, a request to authenticate connection of a user device to a network;
• retrieve, by the first network device, security data associated with the network;
• determine, by the first network device, that one or more security criteria are satisfied based on analyzing the security data associated with the network;
• and
• transmit, by the first network device, a response to the user device, wherein the response instructs the user device to establish a connection with the network and does not disclose the security data.
