Overview Wireless LANs (WLANs) have experienced tremendous growth since the introduction of the 802.11x wireless networking standard. Flexibility, ease of deployment and administration, and the resulting low total cost of ownership constitute three of the major incentives accounting for the popularity of WLANs. These factors encourage the deployment of WLANs in small businesses and remote offices, where elimination of cabling and ease of administering the network can result in significant savings to the organization. This paper reviews the challenges confronting wireless LANs and their associated security solutions, and how Fortinet's FortiGate Antivirus Firewall systems enable enterprises with remote offices and small businesses to successfully navigate the constantly changing landscape of network threats to wireless LANs.
