Wireless Threats - Be Aware

The increasing use of mobile devices and wireless applications puts a premium on your company keeping close watch on threats and taking action to stop them.

Here are three of the most frequent causes of concern:

 
Product Problems
Phones with remote debugging features are vulnerable to attacks and they will only increase as use of voice over WLAN (VoWLAN) equipment increases.
The Mobile Factor

The growing number of wireless devices used by business travelers, such as wireless-enabled laptops with confidential data, pose serious potential problems (see related story "Laptops - A Security Issue").

Hacker Expertise
Hackers are adapting, using increasingly advanced techniques to fool intrusion detection systems. An understanding of hacker's "tools of the trade" is necessary to prevent attacks.
 
With wireless threats always changing, it is vital that your company stay up-to-date in order to minimize downtime and maximize productivity.
