What are the major security risks to 802.11x Wireless LANS?

To date the known security threats for a Wireless Network include: insertion attacks, interception & monitoring of wireless traffic, mis-configuration, jamming, and client-to-client attacks to name a few. Wireless LAN security can be a mess and wreak havoc for your network if it is not addressed correctly.

The original 802.11 security scheme, called Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP), has a number of weaknesses. Default settings for wireless LAN gear typically would simply shut off all security, including even the minimal security WEP offers. Let WAMS expertise is wireless security auditing address your security concerns with actionable results.
 

 
WAMS Wireless LAN Auditing includes these options:

Security Infrastructure Review
ensures security and authentication access to wireless systems, while securing the data content during wireless transmissions.

Air Survey
ensures that the radio signals can reach places that are occupied by the corporation's employees and not extend very far into public spaces, such as common corridors, lobbies or parking lots. Protecting your WLAN by running network sniffing, host masquerade, man-in-the-middle, ARP and MAC address spoofing, WEP cracking, and other tools before an intruder does.

Design with Security in Mind
WAMS project management coordinates wireless networking equipment and a complete site survey to ensure that the investment in wireless technologies meets your security expectations.

Encryption
WAMS works with you to implement 128-bit encryption and public keys on the wireless networks. We provide support for several industry-standard encryption protocols, such as IPsec, PPTP and L2TP.

Roaming Users
WAMS provides support for users that roam across a campus with multiple access points – i.e. subnet hopping.
