Wireless Managment
Just about everyone has heard of WiFi “Wireless Fidelity”. You can’t go to any of your favorite spots and not see a free wireless hot spot there. Pretty much all public businesses such as restaurants, fast food or your local coffee shop has free wifi connectivity. WiFi is becoming the singularity in which we exchange and share information. From homes to businesses you will find these sites and you may never once think about the security that is or isn’t there.
Treat public WiFi like you would a public restroom, cautious and observant in what you touch. This is because you do not know how that free wifi was configured and you could be exposing your connected devices to data breeches.
Most small to medium size businesses don’t realize the benefits of having a managed wifi solution. This isn’t due to non willingness to pay for the extra security but they were never educated on the differences.
Wifi configurations will have a passpharse, key or some other method in which your end users will be able to connect to your wireless. The downsides are that employees retire, leave or are terminated and they still know this security password. This is because you are using a blanket security in your wireless configuration. So this means to prevent rouge connections to your network, you will now need to change that passphrase or connection key each and every time someone leaves. Everything you have connected to your wireless network will need to have the new updated password for it to function. This can be a task on it’s own.
