Improving wireless security
Partially for cost reasons (less money to spend versus regular wiring) and partially for convenience (users don't have to be close to a network jack), more wireless is starting to be deployed at my company. After reading about all of the security problems that come along with the benefits of having wireless as a part of the network, I am concerned about having enough protection in place will still having the wireless network being convenient to use. What do you suggest as possibilities for doing this?-- Via the Internet.
There are several things to look at.
The first is to do an inventory of all the wireless devices that you have. Most important, note whether the wireless device is mode B, mode G, etc. While not a big deal in the grand scheme of things, it will dictate, in part, the type of encryption that you are able to use and how sophisticated you can get.
