Why Is A ‘Secure’ Wireless Network Important?

0

Lets just consider for a moment the implications of using a non-secure wireless local area network or WLAN. It is quite a commonly known fact that more than two-thirds of WLAN users don’t even have the standard security features needed to keep their systems safe and one-fifth of those people have not even installed or configured any security settings at all, these figures are scary. It is important to mention that users need to understand that a breach in security caused by failure to use and configure features can lead to the computer becoming infected with viruses, which are then passed onto the company’s network when returning to the office. Worse still, a WLAN uses radio frequencies to send information, which means that someone with a receiver in your area could pick up your transmissions and gain access to your computer, leading to sensitive information being accessed by those who are not authorized.
