Not quite on the enterprise wifi side, but I have been pleasantly surprised that iOS has alerted me when I connect to a wifi network with the same name, at a new location. So endpoints can play a part in this.

I’m not sure if there is some kind of MDM policy that would restrict locations that are valid for wifi use, but expect it is coming soon.

Actually, that’s the exact opposite of what I was quoting. That’s client side detection, not “rogue ap containment” which is an entirely different thing. Rogue AP containment is where a Wi-Fi controller detects unauthorized APs within its AP’s radio range and sends client disconnects to the devices connected to it, effectively isolating (“containing”) users from it.
