Abstract
A computerized method performed by logic processing on a first network device is disclosed. The computerized method includes operations performed by a logic of a first network device includes detecting movement of the first network at a speed above a predetermined threshold and presence of a wireless transceiver, transmitting a message to the wireless transceiver that includes instructions for the wireless transceiver to perform a plurality of scans for additional network devices, receiving a set of lists corresponding to scans performed by the wireless transceiver, each of the set of lists indicating a first group of network devices detected by the wireless transceiver, determining a subset of the first set of the detected network devices present on each list of the set of lists, and responsive to the subset of the first set of the detected network devices exceeding a policy threshold limit, transmitting an alert.
