Wi-Fi Still A Corporate Risk
As the speed of business continues to accelerate all over the world, the strategic advantages of constantly connected employees also present some high-risk problems for corporate America.
Experts say the risks are growing because computer networks are increasingly being patched together through the Internet, with more entry points into the system than ever before. Laptops, PDAs, Wi-Fi hotspots and even cell phones form a loose-knit circle of methods to accesses the Web.
"There are more opportunities for attack, and there are more ways into the network," Phil Nobles, wireless Internet and cyber-crime expert at the Defense Academy of the United Kingdom, said.
And because most executives aren't up-to-date on the latest cyber crimes, said Nobles, it is safe to assume that the corporate world is adding to the problem.
