The steady growth of Wi-Fi in the enterprise demands that corporate IT
teams learn and adopt new security methodologies tailored to the unique
requirements and weaknesses of wireless networks. Network and security
staff must first evaluate a potentially confusing set of authentication and
encryption mechanisms to be used in the network. Depending on the
security selected, IT will then need to establish and document the corporate
WLAN security policy, including mechanisms to validate user compliance
and monitor for inherent network vulnerabilities. With a defined policy in
place, IT staff can turn their attentions to protecting the network from
snooping and an ever-expanding list of wireless attacks. In this paper, we
will address each of these areas in detail and identify the real-world best
practices needed to deploy and maintain a secure wireless network. |

What we know today as wireless, or Wi-Fi networking has evolved from the IEEE 802.11 publication of 1997. This standard called for wireless transmission rates of 1 and 2 megabits per second (Mbits/s) to be transmitted on the 2.4Ghz band. In 1999 the 802.11b amendment was published. This amendment called for wireless transmission speeds with a maximum transmission rate of 11 Mbits/s (Wikipedia, n.d.). This was the first version of wireless networking adopted by mainstream users and the business community.
Wireless networking gained more momentum and speed in 2003 when 802.11g was ratified. The G specification calls for maximum speeds of up to 54Mbits/s and is backwards compatible with 802.11b (Wikipedia, n.d.). The increasing speeds made wireless even more attractive to users. As a result businesses began to deploy more wireless networks. Today it is estimated that there are nearly110 million wireless notebooks in use (Khalil, 2004). |
