Most wireless access points are designed with ease of use in mind, rather than security. Wireless that has not been properly secured can render your existing wired security measures such as firewalls ineffective.
Unprotected Wi-Fi networks pose multiple threats to businesses. Users can inadvertently compromise both local and corporate data from the office or a Wi-Fi hotspot, while hackers can easily find an opening in an unprotected system on an access point or hotspot and run scripted, peer-to-peer attacks. They can gain access to confidential data such as customer lists, project plans and even username-password combinations.
Although security features are usually available, these are commonly disabled by default. Integrating wireless into your existing network requires expertise to ensure you are not exposing your organisation to new security threats. Wireless that has not been properly secured can render your existing wired security measures such as firewalls ineffective.
