Wifi has been around for years now, but many businesses have yet to make the jump to it. Many of them fear that it will introduce an easy way to break into their network. That fear is an unfounded one, but it persists to this day. It doesn’t help that many high profile companies get broken into via their unsecured wifi though. Having an outdated method of encryption such as WEP does not constitute adequate security. Like many forms of computer security, one must remain up to date. There is nothing wrong with adopting wifi, as it may actually increase office productivity. that said, ensure that you have it adequately hardened.
