Rogue AP Detection Question

That is a good question, most I could find was https://docs.sophos.com/nsg/sophos-firewall/v17.1.4/Help/en-us/webhelp/onlinehelp/index.html#page/onlinehelp/RogueAPScanning.html

This is the correct online help link.

Basically we only show the Rogue APs but do not perform any actions (right now).

As far as i know, there are couple of law issues with taking automatic remediation actions. 

I am not a legal expert, but feel free to read this : http://transition.fcc.gov/Daily_Releases/Daily_Business/2015/db1102/FCC-15-146A1.pdf

The technical way to mitigate a rogue ap is something like:

Maybe Tejas Kashyap can give more insight on this? :)

Agree. As of now, we are scanning the neighborhood for networks and just classify them. The solution we have is just intrusion detection and not prevention. WIPS in itself is plagued with a lot of issues, right from the legality as has been mentioned above to the effectiveness of the solution. Normally WIPS consists of APs having 3 radios with one acting as a sensor. There are solutions where the same radio serves the clients and acts as a sensor by timesharing. 

To summarize, we do not have any actions that can be performed once rogue APs are identified.
