Wireless Security
Wireless networks has made the implemen-
tation of a network much simpler. With a
wireless network comes the joys of
freedom.
You can now take your laptop to any room
in the house or office and still be
connected to your network and the
internet. Need to add a workstation,
just plug in a wireless card and you can
join the network or surf the web.
What sacrifices must be made to enjoy
these freedoms - Security. If you can
jump onto your network from anywhere
(within range) with just the use of a
wireless card, so can anyone else with
one. If you have ever worried about a
virus or worm, with a wireless network,
you have much greater concerns.
There is good news... A wireless network
can be secure. Nothing you do will ever
guarantee that you will never be
attacked, but you don't want to leave
your door open either.
There is much
involved in making the correct decision
for you, your company and your budget.
