GROUP ID: V-253366
RULE ID: SV-253366r991589

Wi-Fi Sense automatically connects the system to known hotspots and networks that contacts have shared. It also allows the sharing of the system's known networks to contacts. Automatically connecting to hotspots and shared networks can expose a system to unsecured or potentially malicious systems.

Solution

Configure the policy value for

Computer Configuration >> Administrative Templates >> Network >> WLAN Service >> WLAN Settings>> 'Allow Windows to automatically connect to suggested open hotspots, to networks shared by contacts, and to hotspots offering paid services'

to 'Disabled'.
