WiFi Security at Work and on the Road

Whenever you communicate over the Internet using a wired or wireless connection, you may want to ensure that your communications and files are private and protected. If your transmissions are not secure, you take the risk of others intercepting your business e-mails, examining your corporate files and records, and using your network and Internet connection to distribute their own messages and communications.

How secure you want your network to be depends on how you use the Internet. If you're just surfing to do research or watch movies, you may not care if anyone picks up part of the transmission, but that's up to you. Even if you're shopping and purchasing items over the internet, those financial transactions are usually protected by a technology called Secure Socket Layer (SSL). However, if your data is confidential or if you want additional security, there are several different technologies you might consider implementing. Remember, security is a personal decision, and we encourage you to use at least some level of security as a deterrent to intrusion.

In a home wireless network, you can use a variety of simple security procedures to protect your Wi-Fi? connection. These include enabling Wi-Fi Protected Access, changing your password or network name (SSID) and closing your network. However, you can also employ additional, more sophisticated technologies and techniques to further secure your business network. Wi-Fi Security at Work and on the Road
