Wireless Security Audits
Imagine a terrorist connecting to your wireless network, enjoying free internet access and then sending email to his accomplices.
Next day intelligence officials knock your premises, questioning your people on grounds of suspected terrorist links!!
Yes this can be a consequence of ignoring wireless security. War driving is nowadays pretty common, and moreover any body can commit cyber crime using your company’s FREE wireless network.
The major risks in wireless network environments are:
- Illegitimate users may successfully access the network.
- Data accessible through the network may fall into the wrong hands.
- Your network may be used to commit a crime.
People tend to have the “so long as it’s up and running” attitude which means that if after using the wireless setup wizard they are able to browse the internet or access files remotely from a wireless device then all is well… BIG mistake!
To overlook wireless security is like leaving the front door to your house permanently open. Without any – or little – security that’s essentially what you’re doing; allowing anyone in range to sniff your network packets, read your e-mails, use your internet for free, and even gain access to your files, or on even a more darker side committing a cyber crime.
