Understanding WLAN Security Challenges

You should know what you're trying to ensure safety and learn how the bad guys try to take advantage of their vulnerability point for any network. How can you really separate the hype and sensible security policy design and choose the right WLAN security technology?

This will give those old quotes about understanding your enemy from the likes of the importance of the art of war is a good place. But we know that's disgusting all the good that has been used by other authors quotes. So we'll spare you (and myself).

Instead, let us into the right to discuss security risks. Discussions Center on the back of Wlan security risk rather than specific attacks and weaknesses of regional areas. This is basically because the books have a long life, and you're reading this, today's latest and greatest wireless LAN vulnerabilities may be old news. But the risk remains unchanged. The risk discussion is, as follows:

• Vulnerability inherent in radio transmission media
• Vulnerabilities inherent in standard definition
• Flows inherent vulnerability
• Readily available performance analysis and attack tools
• Misconfigured wireless devices and clients
• Rogue access points and equipment

Summary the following section should have a good overview of Wlan real risks and should be ready to have a closer look at the building blocks to address these vulnerabilities.
