The Power of Location-Based WLAN Security and Management (240.58 kb) Even if your organization has not formally adopted 802.11 technologies and networks, it is likely that your employees, corporate neighbors, business partners and vendors have already deployed WLANs that put your information security in jeopardy.
This whitepaper explains how the capability to precisely physically locate all 802.11 devices in your vicinity is a requirement for effective WLAN security. The ability to real-time track all 802.11 devices as they move around your vicinity also provides critical capabilities to effectively manage your WLANs.
Why Encryption, Authentication and VPNs do NOT secure your WLAN (1.05 mb) A growing list of WLAN encryption and authentication standards each promise to deliver Wireless LAN security. But all of these standards can be cracked or compromised or circumvented. For example, these protocols do not stop lost or stolen passwords and credentials, Rogue APs, Man-in-the Middle attacks or client devices like laptops from associating with outside connections.
So how can you guarantee the security of your WLAN information? What approaches can you use to stop unauthorized access to your WLANs?
This white paper exposes the critical weaknesses of relying on encryption, authentication and VPNs, and explains approaches you can take to guarantee the security of your WLANs.
