Lately, we’ve seen a lot of interest from the media around wireless security threats, largely as a result of the US-based TJX breach of some 94 million cards made possible through insufficient WLAN security.
Evil Twin, Wi-Phishing, and Honeypot attacks are just a few of the common wireless security threats that plague the airwaves today. To deal (or not deal as the case may be) with these increasing threats, many enterprises have decided to enforce a ‘no wireless’ policy or allow wireless in very limited areas.
I would argue that this approach is one of the reasons why we are losing the war against the cybercriminals. By taking a policy approach to security, organisations often embrace a false sense of security and in the end make themselves even more vulnerable to threats. I have seen the ‘no wireless’ methodology backfire on many organisations.
