Description
If the policy does not include information on Wi-Fi security controls, then it is more likely that the security controls will not be implemented properly. Wi-Fi is vulnerable to a number of security breaches without appropriate controls. These breaches could involve the interception of sensitive DoD information and the use of the device to connect to DoD networks.
