Wireless
If you're wondering whether
it's time for your company to join the wireless revolution, we have
some news for you: it
already has, for better and worse. During the past few years,
thousands of cell phones, BlackBerry devices, pagers,
wireless PDAs, and wireless-enabled laptops have almost certainly
made their way into your company.
Rogue Wi-Fi (wireless fidelity, which can transmit data at
relatively high speeds across short distances) access points
have been set up on networks without any encryption in place, and
right now one of your employees may be sitting in
an airport Starbucks checking his E-mail and even downloading
company sales figures or other sensitive data.
The question is not whether you're ready for wireless: it's whether
you can still tame the tiger before it eats you alive.
Luckily, there's still time to regain control. New technologies now
make wireless devices just as secure as those on
traditional networks and stronger security standards are being
introduced each day.
With a number of interesting wireless applications on the horizon,
now is the time to lay a proper foundation so that
the convenience and productivity enhancements your employees have
already embraced don't hamper your efforts to maximize this
fast-evolving technology.
We can help
with these issues to secure your wireless network so you are the
only one with access to your critical information.
