In all fairness, this risk is lower now than it used to be due to the

Explain that to an auditor.

If they are raising flags because of unencrypted authentication on your network ... then the presence of a switch (instead of a hub) isn't going to mater one iota.

I have an application on my computer at work called NetPerSec. It shows network
activity, at some level. It was my understanding (since I don't work with the
networking part) that we used several switches. So, why do I see network
activity with this program? Am I not actually connected via a switch? I can
sit here, do nothing, and watch the activity change over time.
