Abstract

According to one embodiment of the invention, a method for generating an advisory message for an endpoint device includes determining a threat level for the endpoint device by identifying a connection type between the endpoint device and the wireless network. The method also includes determining a second threat level for the endpoint device by identifying a security policy of the endpoint device. The method further includes generating an advisory message for the endpoint device based on the threat levels. The advisory message indicates vulnerability of the endpoint device.
