1. A network management system comprising:
memory; and
processing circuitry having access to the memory, the processing circuitry configured to:
receive a set of access point (AP) data corresponding to a client device of a plurality of client devices, wherein the set of AP data comprises data associated with a communication between the client device and an AP device;
receive a set of remote server data, wherein the set of remote server data comprises information corresponding to a communication between the client device and a remote server separate from the network management system;
determine an association between the set of AP data and the set of remote server data based on one or more matching criteria;
store data indicative of the association between the set of AP data and the set of remote server data, wherein the one or more matching criteria indicate that the set of AP data and the set of remote server data correspond to the same client device of the plurality of client devices, and wherein the set of AP data comprises at least some information inaccessible to the remote server communicating with the client device; and
perform an action based on the association.
