Description
Wireless connectivity is now a reality in most businesses. Yet by its nature, wireless networks are the most difficult to secure and are
often the favorite target of intruders. This book provides the busy network administrator with best-practice solutions to securing the
wireless network
With the increased demand for mobile connectivity and the decrease in cost and in the time required for installation,
wireless network connections will make up 20% of all corporate network connections by the end of 2006.
With this increase in usage
comes a commensurate increase in the network’s vulnerability to intrusion. This book provides the typical network administrator with
the basic tools and instruction they need to maintain a secure network while allowing acceptable access to users.
Audience:
Network administrator and Security administrators who need to secure wireless networks.
