Wireless Networks are Here to Stay.
Our workforce is getting increasingly more mobile which is driving the need
for wireless networking. Your best approach is to embrace it with a plan, not
hide from it.
Until now, implementing a secure and distributed wireless
network has been too expensive and insecure. Once in place, users are demanding
more flexibility, often at the expense of security. The result is that number of
wireless hackers are increasing, requiring an even greater focus on network
security.

Threats to a Wireless Network
- War driving - Hackers or freeloaders drive around looking
for unprotected WLANs to use for their own purposes.
- Encryption and authentication cracking tools - Hackers use
software such as WEPCrack and AirSnort to track WLAN signals and identify
patterns they use to break security encryption.
- Long-range intrusion - Hackers have been known to use
antennas to pick-up Wireless signals from up to 2,000 feet away.
- Innocent infection - If you rely solely on desktop
anti-virus protection, a computer with wireless access but inadequateupdates or
configuration can introduce malware into the network.
