Abstract
An embodiment of the invention provides a device for monitoring activity of a computing device wirelessly connected to a network, wherein the device includes a first interface for connecting the device to the computing device. A second interface wirelessly connects the device to the network. A sensor connected to the second interface measures wireless network traffic to the computing device and/or wireless network traffic from the computing device. Another embodiment of the invention provides a computing device having an interface for wirelessly connecting to a network. A sensor connected to the interface measures wireless network traffic to the computing device and/or wireless network traffic from the computing device. A processor connected to the sensor compares the network traffic to the computing device and/or the network traffic from the computing device to one or more thresholds to determine whether the computing device should be decommissioned.
