Wireless networks are quickly becoming an integral part of the network infrastructure in all industry environments to sustain business-critical applications. However, the bad news is that more wireless devices means more hackers penetrating the vulnerabilities of wireless LANs. Organizations that think their investments in firewalls and VPNs will protect them from WLAN risks do not realize the WLAN signal bypasses all wired side security and opens back doors for intruders. Companies also need to understand that ‘Security is an Evolving Journey and not a Destination.’ It is important to recognize that WIDS/WIPS deployments are a long-term strategy and ensure that security evolves with the changing wireless environment.

This complimentary webcast will help identify new and emerging threats and display how a layered approach to security is critical to ensuring future-proof deployment. Hear from WLAN security experts and practitioners who will discuss the technical and functional requirements of a true Intrusion Prevention System and how to shield the mobile workforce, irrespective of location. This webcast will use actual enterprise case studies and new security methodologies that demonstrate common mistakes and successful WLAN deployments.
