Wireless Audit:

Indeed, when it comes to the threat matrix associated with wireless security, there are many issues demanding attention: everything from keeping unauthorised wireless users off wireless local area networks (WLANs) to making sure that the traffic flowing through a WLAN is encrypted in a way that keeps your data safe from prying eyes.

Wireless access points historically are preconfigured with making the Installer's life easy, this of course is in direct conflict with security. Although security options are available, they are seldom used to their full potential. Incorrectly or poorly configured wireless access points can have a devistating affect, regardless of how well the firewalls or internal security measures have been implimented.

Companies that choose not to deploy wireless often assume they are invulnerable to wireless attacks, this is not true. Wireless audits should be completed regardless. It takes one disgruntled employee to install an access point rendering your entire network open to attack.
