Description
Wireless services enable users within close proximity of access points to have access to data and services within the private network. The security boundary of a Wireless LAN extends from the client device to the network boundary where network access is controlled. This boundary represents the portion of the network most vulnerable to attack and must be protected. Wireless access introduces security risks which must be addressed through implementation of strict controls and procedures such as, authentication, encryption, and defining what resources can be accessed.
