Describing the many security challenges facing wireless networks and mobile devices, this guide includes coverage of many focus areas for traditional security with the additional considerations of networks that share a common and unprotected medium (the air) as well as devices that are not physically under the control of an IT department. Concerns about security are generally the biggest technical inhibitor to wireless technology, which is poised to take off in the coming years as the transmission mechanism of choice for mobile professionals. Many of the worries are justified since there are certainly risks in using this new technology. However, with careful planning it is possible to maintain a network that is at least as secure as most corporate cabled networks.
