WIRELESS NETWORK SECURITY

There has been a remarkable take up of wireless and mobile communications in recent years, such that in a number of countries the number of mobile phones now exceeds the number of fixed network connections. Alongside this booming of devices, we are seeing dramatic growth in data on the network compared with voice: the so-called 'data wave'. Wireless security is the process of securing a wireless network from unauthorized access.Wireless waves send traffic data from a router to a computer and data may be at risk if intercepted with packet sniffers.There are three routes of data interception: direct observation, interception of data transmission, and electromagnetic interception.

System terminal and workstation display screens may be observed by unauthorized persons. In most cases, it is relatively easy to relocate the display to eliminate the exposure
If an interceptor can gain access to data transmission lines and just tapped into the lines and read the data being transmitted. Network monitoring tools can be used to capture data packets. Of course, the interceptor cannot control what is transmitted, and so may not be able to immediately observe data of interest. However, over a period of time there may be a serious level of disclosure. Local area networks typically broadcast messages.Consequently, all traffic, including passwords, could be retrieved. Interceptors could also transmit spurious data on tapped lines, either for purposes of disruption or for fraud.
Still many of the wireless networks are unfortunately unsecure;it's not necessary to find a public network to see an insecured Internet area; private networks are unsecured as well, because people believe that a network is secure if we limit ourselves to giving the new user of the wireless network username and password. Our company can create customized policies to access wireless networks and to screen the computers of the people to whom access has just been granted.
