Wireless Problems

Problem 1 - Many organisations do not control laptop access

How often do we let external consultants connect to the network?
Is access monitored and tracked?

Of course not! We all know about the problems of viruses being unleashed – the disruption to business is real and costly. But unless Wi-Fi access monitored and alerts can be generated there is no control. And no control means trouble!

Problem 2 - One day (in the not to distant future) it will all be wireless

Wireless use is spiraling and not just on lap-tops. Wired desktop PCs are being replaced with PCs equipped for wireless access. Indeed it is expected that new Desk-based PCs will increasingly be shipped wireless enabled.

Problem 3 - Need to get ready

Organisations need to know what is happening on their RF airwaves. While many IT Managers ban the use of wireless in their security policy, but this is extremely difficult in enforce without appropriate systems.
