Wireless segmentation
Implementing a wireless network within the enterprise can provide a high degree of mobility for enterprise users allowing access to enterprise assets no matter where they are located on the campus. The access to critical infrastructure should be properly segmented to ensure the security of the assets from unauthorized access that may be successful via a weak wireless security implementation. In environments with a securely implemented wireless infrastructure, it is recommended to also segment the networks with an intelligent firewall to detect and mitigate attacks over the wireless network. Some compliance standards such as the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) mandate a segmentation of the wireless network when any portion of the wireless network connects to the cardholder data environment. It is a good practice to keep the critical enterprise assets segmented not only from the wireless network, but also from the general user population.
