Wireless (802.11) Security

Wireless networking is a powerful business enabler as it allows users with notebook computers, handheld PDAs and cell phones to roam the corporate campus, the community and even the world while staying connected to the company network. However, without proper design and security measures, 802.11 can be a serious security risk because it can indiscriminately allow your entire neighborhood - and anyone passing through with malicious intent - onto your network as well.

NetWorks Group provides two wireless security offerings: design and implementation of new wireless networks and a security audit and penetration test for existing extensions of your IT infrastructure into the wireless space.
