Chapter 7. Wireless Network Security
This chapter will build on the foundations set in previous chapters with a focus on wireless network implementation. The convenience of wireless networking is a benefit used by most enterprise users to increase productivity and gain mobility. The ability to connect to the network over wireless signals poses security challenges and can be the source of network compromise if not implemented correctly. Threats to wireless network security continue to increase; it is imperative to consider the current methods of wireless exploitation and plan for future vulnerability discovery. To ensure minimal risk introduction through wireless network implementation, configuration considerations must be assessed and the wired network protected from inevitable wireless network attacks. Additional resources for implementing secure wireless networks are provided in Appendix C, Security Tools List.
