Securing a Wireless Network: Sygate Technologies White Paper

Overview Wireless network technology makes corporate network access convenient from anywhere: from within the corporate campus in conference rooms, to hotels and airports and from main street at cafes and restaurants. Limitations in wireless technology also expose corporate networks to malicious access like "drive-by hacking," denial of service attacks, and sniffing, which results in service outage and information leakage. This paper describes the source of these exposures, policies to eliminate these exposures and a proactive method for achieving security policy compliance with those policies at low cost.
