Wireless LAN

No two concepts seem at such odds as wireless LANs (WLANs) and security. While visions of war drivers dance in your head, the reality is that WLANs can have security equal to, if not better than, wired networks.

Securing your WLAN requires a multilayer defense to ensure data privacy and protect against attackers who might launch man-in-the-middle and denial-of-service (DoS) attacks. It requires not only secure authentication and strong encryption but also radio frequency (RF) planning and rogue access point (AP) detection. Deploying an enterprise WLAN with confidence requires you to understand key deployment issues, including a multitude of encryption options, and then developing a security strategy appropriate to the risks in your environment.

SecureLink designs and implements wireless LANs with the solutions from Trapeze Networks, which was acquisitioned by Juniper Networks in 2010.
