What is it?

Wireless security testing is designed to identify areas of weakness within a wireless LAN and can be conducted either at the planning stage, or following implementation to identify any security risks.

Why do it?

Many businesses are seeking to deploy wireless networks to take advantage of the many productivity and technology benefits that they offer. However, security is the number one concern expressed by IT managers regarding wireless networking. These security challenges include radio signals that are inherently subject to eavesdropping, outdated WLAN equipment that does not offer updated security technologies and weak encryption.

Awareness of weak points enables you to adopt best practice and secure your wireless network against attack.

What it means to your organisation?

Many businesses are seeking to deploy wireless networks to benefit from the many productivity and technology benefits that they offer. However, concern over the level of security can act as a deterrent to adopting this technology.  By undertaking a WiSec check prior to deployment, you can be assured that all possible steps have been taken to secure the network.  We also offer a WiSec Survey to provide continual security analysis of existing Wireless deployments.
