1. A method for generating an advisory message for an endpoint device in a wireless network, comprising:
- determining, by a processor, a first threat level for an endpoint device in the wireless network by identifying a connection type between the endpoint device and the wireless network;
determining, by the processor, a second threat level for the endpoint device by identifying a security policy of the endpoint device; and
based on the first threat level and the second threat level, generating an advisory message for the endpoint device that indicates vulnerability of the endpoint device.

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.
