WiFi Scanner Vulnerability

I am being told by the security team that is monitoring my system that your wifi scanner poses a threat to my infrastructure. Is there anyway that we can disable or remove that one tool, and maintain the rest of them. Besides, that tool never loaded in my environment for some reason, so it won't be missed. Thank you!

None of these articles answered my question. Can we turn off and remove that part of the installation? I didn't even know it existed because it never showed anything for wifi scanning in my location tabs.

Yes,

In the main habitat console under automated services management tool. Find and disable the WIFI scanner tool.

Once disabled it will not run any more. You can safely remove files on computer.
