What are the security implications?
As default WiFi is very insecure as all traffic is transmitted over the air, it is trivial to capture traffic using very simple client device and a network sniffer. Many companies leave themselves wide open for attack as recently highlighted in various news articles about war driving. To try and combat this problem 802.11 implements an encryption standard called Wireless equivalency protocol (WEP). Unfortunately WEP is also quite easy to crack and so other security methods are usually employed to keep data safe. Intersync have experience in setting up Virtual Private Networks (VPN’s) that provide this increased security and can be implemented throughout you whole network.
