much of a hassle? Try our wireless solutions. If you have
already purchased and connected wireless equipment out of
the box, read our section about wireless security. |
Network security is essential in
any environment. When any piece of wireless networking
equipment is installed and operated with the default
settings (out of the box), the network is completely open.
The equipment comes set up this way to make it easier for
most people to set up and operate. This is good for ease of
use, however it can be detrimental to the security of your
network and all the computers connected to it.
Knowing that a substantial amount of open and unsecure
wireless networks exist, anyone from a cyber criminal, to a
merely curious individual can have access to your network.
These can be either local individuals, or non-local through
what is known as wardriving. Wardriving is a term describing
a practice in which a group of individuals drive around in
both residential and commercial areas with a laptop
searching for unsecure wireless networks. Often times they
have much success. Now once an individual has access to your
wireless network, what can they accomplish? Here is a list
of just a few of the most common ways that people take
advantage of an open wireless network: |
|
· Internet Access Use
Individuals can utilize your internet connection for the
purposes of committing fraud, or other illegal activities.
This allows the individual to commit a crime without being
traced. The authorities would trace the origin of the crime
to your location. This can result in legal investigation.
· Access Any Network Shared Resources
Any resources that are available on your network would be
accessible to any individual that has connected to your
wireless network. Even password protected shared files are
vulnerable. Printers and other hardware, such as your router
or access point can also be accessed and modified without
your knowledge.
· Run Exploits
On a weekly basis, new bugs, glitches, and security holes
are found in the most common versions of Microsoft Windows.
Most often, these security flaws are found by malicious
individuals, and exploited before Microsoft is aware of
them. By exploiting these security flaws, individuals can
gain full access to your system for whatever purposes they
choose. Often times, malicious users exploit these security
flaws to either access your personal information, or places
viruses or worms on your system. Many spammers use these
exploits to install specialized worms that send hundreds of
emails to random recipients from your location. This can
sometimes result in your internet account being shut down,
as well as possible legal investigation.
· See Network Traffic
Individuals with access to your wireless connection in close
proximity would have the ability to monitor any network
traffic flowing to, or from your wireless access point or
router. This means that they are able to view email
messages, Instant message conversations, trace web sites
that are visited, and also intercept credit card information
from online purchases. |
Our certified network security
specialists can lock down your wireless network so that you
will be protected from potential attackers. To speak to a
