Wireless LAN security
has come of age with the wealth of hardware and software products
that have recently emerged on the market to address this
challenging need. Solutions abound at every layer of the ISO
model.
WirelessTEK supports a host of Layer 1, 2 and 3 products and
technologies as components of a fully certified AAA1 security
policy. A good WLAN security audit should include checks in all of
these key areas.
It all starts with good network security policies. Mandates of
strong passwords on all network resources, especially Access
Points/Switches/Routers (wired and wireless) and all servers are
essential to good security. WirelessTEK can audit your WLAN resources to
be sure your passwords cannot easily be determined.
Have you thought about rogue AP’s? Do you think you don’t have
any? Think again, and think about it often. A rogue AP on your
backbone, inside any wireless gateway/firewall, can be a major
problem as it will completely bypasses all other access control. A
carefully configured rogue may not be easily detected. You may
have a rogue AP, even if you don’t (officially) have a WLAN. With
the proliferation of cheap home networking components, employees
can deploy their own WLANs without notice or approval.
Coupled with your organization’s strong security policies and
extensive user education, WirelessTEK can help you with the
challenge of selecting and implementing a security strategy at
several layers of the OSI networking model.
Those solutions include:

Also protects against attacks against wireless clients. Most
implementations also provide encryption.
Segmentation Devices - Provides fine-grained authentication and
access control. Can limit client access to network resources based
on userid/role as well as provide some QoS/CoS control. Can also
include additional layers of very strong encryption.
