✦ Synopsis

Often, the focus when discussing wireless security is on new technology. Our natural instinct is to look for technological solutions to security problems; better firewalls to keep out advanced attackers, better intrusion detection systems to find advanced attacks on the network, and better wireless security products and protocols to counter advanced wireless threats. However, technology is only a small portion of the solution. As security professionals, we need to take a holistic view of wireless security to create a realistic and complete solution to the problem.
