Wireless Security

Wireless access points have a number of "built in" security-orientated features. These basic "built in" features can be compared to the built in security features of a new car. For example, car door locks, engine immobilizer and alarm can act as a deterrent, however if thieves (hackers) really want your car (network) these features alone will not stop them. When all of these "built in" features are utilised, wireless LAN users are ensuring that they have taken every precaution possible. Thieves would rather go to the car with keys in the ignition, than one locked, with the immobiliser and alarm turned on.

Our Wireless Audit's will address "built in" features including:

• Extended service set ID (ESSID or SSID)
• MAC filters list
• Wired equivalent privacy (WEP)
