The security record of 802.11 WLAN technologies is blemished, but advances in the technology make it possible to implement a WLAN that is more secure than a wired network. To help understand the dynamics of WLAN security and to aid in securing the enterprise WLAN, read this In-Depth Report, 'Ensuring Wireless LAN Security.'
This research report discusses in detail the following topics:
- The history and overview of WLAN security. - Best practices in securing WLAN access and steps in securing WLANs from foreign devices. - Implementing Wireless Intrusion Detection Systems for a secure WLAN infrastructure. - Needed components for a strong WLAN security policy. - Building a solid framework for WLAN security through our recommendations and guidelines.
Implementing and maintaining a secure enterprise is not an insignificant undertaking. Yet the benefits secure mobility offers the enterprise often warrant the investment and effort. Enterprises that have implemented, or are planning to implement, a WLAN should take a holistic approach to securing the network.
