What is it that you want to protect from? Or what risk do you want to mitigate?
It may start by defining what you consider a hotspot. Would that be any SSID that is not your own, like any network of your neigbours? Or would that be a phone acting as a WiFi AP to provide cellular data connectivity? Or would that be an AP that someone puts in your network?
And if you know this, would you want to block it for everyone (see remark about legal implications), or do just you want your own employees not to connect to the hotspot?
And if you know that, how would you like to expect the network to behave as soon as your clients move outside of the coverage area of your own APs? There you can't do any protection, which means the solution would be quite close.
Note that with WPA3 it is no longer possible to disconnect clients.
Answering the question may not be as simple... your Aruba partner or local Aruba SE may be a good candidate to discuss the actual problem you try to solve and the possible solutions.

Hi @chulcher and @rashedbuleman
Thanks for your response. I coordinated with the team to block hotspot and we try to implement air monitor in one of the AP's, but AP fails to boot as AM. To block the hotspot one solution is tarpit containment and another is spectrum analysis & block interference. However, I'm waiting for the response from the team to get the updates. @chulcher can you share any links or docs to know airwave WIPS policy for hotspot blocking. Once i connected with my team, I will share the policy screenshot.
