Secure Wireless Networks
The belief that wireless Internet networks (WLAN) do not offer sufficient security, is one and at the same time greatest obstacle preventing utilizing this technology all over the world. This erroneous attitude has been fueled by series of press articles informing about a great number of unprotected WLAN networks.
In reality, a WLAN is just another method of accessing to network and, just like the local Internet networks (LANs) or remote access, it can be protected according to already existing policies of network security. Simultaneously, a WLAN becomes another way of accessing the company’s intranet.
Security consultants of VirtueWorld can propose various solutions for wireless computer networks designed depending on the number of users. Authorisation of users may be configured locally due to functionality of wireless access point (WAP) or centrally to the server designated for authorization.
Authorization may take place by means of user’s name and password, one time passwords and/or digital certificates. It may also be managed as a data base integrated with exterior applications.
Moreover using authorization and data coding during connection with the wireless network, we preserve the physical security of data also in cases of a break-in into authorization safety measures, which is the key aspect of every network.
