How to Cheat at Securing a Wireless Network
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.
Some of the primary threats are the result of the following
factors:
Denial of service (DoS) and other network layer attacks
Unauthorized access
across the perimeter and within the
organization Application layer intrusions and attacks, both
from within and outside the network Extended connectivity
through remote access and extranets
An increase in unmanaged or ill-managed endpoint devices
New applications like VoIP, instant messaging, and
peer-to-peer
This book provides the busy network administrator with
best-practice solutions address these threats and to
maintain a secure and accessible wireless network. The book
endorses the principle that the best strategy is to deploy
multiple layers of security, each reinforcing the other. Yet
it never strays from its emphasis on the practical; that any
tool or methodology that is deployed must work reliably,
allow sufficient access, and require a minimal amount of
maintenance.
