Wireless security foiled by new exploits

Just when you thought your wireless network was locked down, a whole new set of exploits and hacker tools hits.

There is still more than a fair share of WEP networks, sometimes motivated by the need to support legacy wireless clients (such as VoIP phones, or Symbol scanners). A lot of the enterprises I talk to feel comfortable with the security of their WPA/WPA2 networks, but they often fail to realize that this is only one piece of a wireless security strategy. Failure to address client configuration and security issues, rogue detection and home/mobile users leaves organizations exposed to attack. (more)

When did you last check the security of your wireless network?
Idea... Have us preform an on-site wireless LAN security survey.
