Wireless technologies have become increasingly popular in our everyday business and personal lives.
Personal digital assistants (PDA) allow individuals to access calendars, e-mail, address and phone number
lists, and the Internet. Some technologies even offer global positioning system (GPS) capabilities that can
pinpoint the location of the device anywhere in the world. Wireless technologies promise to offer even
more features and functions in the next few years.
An increasing number of government agencies, businesses, and home users are using, or considering
using, wireless technologies in their environments. Agencies should be aware of the security risks
associated with wireless technologies. Agencies need to develop strategies that will mitigate risks as they
integrate wireless technologies into their computing environments. This document discusses certain
wireless technologies, outlines the associated risks, and offers guidance for mitigating those risks. |

IIS Wireless LAN Security -- 802.11b and Corporate

Although a variety of wireless network technologies have or will soon reach the general business
market, wireless LANs based on the 802.11 standard are the most likely candidate to become
widely prevalent in corporate environments. Current 802.11b products operate at 2.4GHz, and
deliver up to 11Mbps of bandwidth – comparable to a standard Ethernet wired LAN in
performance. An upcoming version called 802.11a moves to a higher frequency range, and
promises significantly faster speeds. It is expected to have security concerns similar to 802.11b.
This low cost, combined with strong performance and ease of deployment, mean that many
departments and individuals already use 802.11b, at home or at work – even if IT staff and
security management administrators do not yet recognize wireless LANs as an approved
technology. This paper addresses the security concerns raised by both current and upcoming
802.11 network technologies. |
