Small offices often don’t have the resources to dedicate to an elaborate, complicated network infrastructure. That’s why many small offices are turning to a wireless networking solution. Flexible, inexpensive and easy to install and maintain, wireless networks provide the efficiency and connectivity of a wired network without the expensive administrative and installation fees. Plus, they offer all the freedom and mobility of a wireless workplace. With this understanding in mind, you still need to consider the risks associated with running a wireless network. Wehave come across many a situation where someone previously had connected up a wireless solution, but neglected to check security measures. What this means is that if you are running a wireless network, it is like giving everybody in your range, access to your network with a transparent cable. This can lead to 'leeching' of your internet (people using your internet connection), file tampering and even viruses. To eliminate these risks, there are options which should be taken by your IT department, to ensure this will not occur. We have seen this happen to many times and it is something
that could have been avoided from the start. For a security assessment,
