Security Management White Papers
Securing Wireless Networks Internally
Overview WEP, WPA/WPA2, and the associated authentication methods are designed to keep invaders out. However, it has become increasingly easier to crack WEP encrypted networks and cracking WPA/WPA2 networks is difficult, but feasible. These methods help keep external users from being able to access sensitive data, but what about internal, authenticated users? Internal wireless security is important when utilizing networks of hundreds of users. Say one has a WPA2 AES encrypted network. A normal user will connect to the network and be granted access to the internal wireless network. Unlike wired networks, wireless networks do not have switches to direct traffic to the right ports (users), therefore, every authenticated user can see everybody else's traffic.
