Abstract:
A second device seeking to access a network can be detected using a first device communicatively coupled to the network. Responsive to detecting the second device seeking to access the network, the first device can be caused to communicatively uncouple from the network and whether the second device poses a risk of corrupting the network's intended functioning if the second device accesses the network can be determined by the first device.
