    INTRODUCTION

     With Wireless Networking, no cables or


    wires are needed to network your
    computers and share your Internet
    connection.

     WLANS offer a quick and effective


    extension of a wired network or standard
    LAN.

     With a simple access point attached to

    CONCERNS IN
    WIRELESS LAN
     Anyone within the geographical network range of an open,
    unencrypted wireless network can 'sniff' or record the traffic,
    gain unauthorized access to internal network resources as
    well as to the internet.

     If router security is not activated or if the owner deactivates


    it for convenience, it creates a free hotspot.

    RISKS
    INTERNAL RISKS:
     Rogue WLANS
     Insecure WLANS
     WLAN Policy violation

    EXTERNAL RISK:
     Network Eavesdropping
     Theft of WLAN credentials

    RISKS
    KNOWN RISK:
     Insertion attacks.
     Interception & unauthorized monitoring.
     Jamming.
     Client to client attacks.
     Brute force attacks.▸
     Encryption attacks.
     Misconfigurations

    SECURITY OPTIONS
     For closed networks (home users and
    organization)configure access restrictions in
    the access points.
     For commercial providers it should be isolated
    wireless network.
     End to end encryption.

    ADVANTAGES
     It is easier to add or move workstations.
     It is easier to provide connectivity in areas where it
    is difficult to lay cable.
     Installation is fast and easy, and it can eliminate the
    need to pull cable through walls and ceilings.
     Access to the network can be from anywhere within
    range of an access point.
     Portable or semi permanent buildings can be
    connected using a WLAN.

    DISADVANTAGE
     As the number of computers using the network increases, the data
    transfer rate to each computer will decrease accordingly.
     As standards change, it may be necessary to replace wireless cards
    and/or access points.
     Lower wireless bandwidth means some applications such as video
    streaming will be more effective on a wired LAN.
     Security is more difficult to guarantee and requires configuration.
     Devices will only operate at a limited distance from an access point.

    Conclusion

     Like most advances, wireless LANs poses both opportunities and risks.
     The technology can represent a powerful complement to an
    organization's networking capabilities, enabling increased employee
    productivity and reducing IT costs.
