The first generation wireless networks placed him between a rock and a hard place. It is no longer a no-win, either / or choice. Recent improvements in wireless protocols and infrastructure technologies make "WLAN security" a realistic goal, not a ridiculous oxymoron.
"We have been forced to take security more seriously than most campuses have," says Col. Donald Welch, associate dean of information and education technology at the US Military Academy at West Point. The academy recently installed a WLAN security suite and plans to offer campus-wide wireless connectivity for the fall.
As West Point and thousands of other organizations are now discovering, WLAN networks can be made secure if you are smart about how to integrate wireless technology with your wired enterprise, leverage your existing security tools, and select the right security technologies from the 802.11 basic security up to VPN to solutions based on the next generation of wireless authentication / encryption protocols. As with any technology, the trick then is to monitor the health of your network to keep it safe.
Wireless premises are network security (WLAN security) is a security system designed to protect networks from the security breaches to which wireless transmissions are susceptible. This type of security is necessary because WLAN signals do not have physical limitations of limits and are prone to illegitimate access to network resources, resulting in the vulnerability of private and confidential data. Network operations and availability can also be compromised in the event of a WLAN security outage. To address these problems, various authentication, encryption, invisibility, and other administrative control techniques are used in WLAN networks. Corporations and corporate WLANs, in particular, require adequate security measures to detect, prevent and block the piggybackers, spies and other intruders.
