Three Security Perimeters Needed For Secure Wireless
Today’s sophisticated mobile devices can expose the wireless network to the same security vulnerabilities that have plagued conventional wired networks. Denial of service (DoS) attacks, the interception and disclosure of sensitive data, and unauthorized network access are just the beginning.
As mobile technology becomes more widespread and evolves to support ever-more sophisticated business and personal applications, the security threats will only increase—making security of the wireless network infrastructure a key consideration and differentiator for service providers.
Unfortunately, there is no single foolproof strategy against all of the potential threats posed by mobile technologies. To secure their wireless networks against these security threats, service providers must implement a multi-layered, multi-faceted approach to wireless security that mirrors the security infrastructure already in place for wireline networks.
