Wireless Security Considerations

The following are the few things you need to ask yourself when implementing security for your wireless network.

• Do I have some form of logging enabled? Logging plays an important as it will enable you to trace that who is trying to gain unauthorized access to your network. This can also act as evidence while prosecuting the suspected burglar in court.

• Do I allow guest access? If you are then be sure to make separate your network from the WLAN by placing the WLAN outside the network and will also implement a firewall between them. Also, remember to check the log and audit the guest user activity so that you can see if any abuse is taking place.

• Where does my wireless signal end? There is a site survey and it is find out that exactly where your signal starts and ends; it will help you in knowing your boundary.

• Do I know what’s on the network? All documents and everything also see to it that when a new access point is attached to the current network make sure you know about the connection that a new connection is set to your network. In the large companies, departments have implemented their own WLAN by adding them to the accesses point to the network and not informing the administration department, thus resulting in potentially opening up of a hole in the network.

• Have I performed a Wireless LAN security audit? First of all see that you scan your network which will help you to identify the available vulnerabilities, and if any of vulnerabilities is found then you can take action as soon as possible.

• Are the wireless clients safe? The current security policy will require and enable the mobile users for keeping their laptops protected against the antivirus as well as the firewall software too.
