ABSTRACT:
Are your company's assets at greater risk when employees connect wirelessly from public hotspots, home, or hotels?

To help your company steer clear of road risks, consider adopting the following wireless best practices:

  • Shift the focus from protecting the network perimeter to protecting information, wherever it resides
  • Use mutual strong authentication between users and the network
  • Keep employee antivirus, firewall, and operating systems up to date
  • Install host-based intrusion prevention software on employees' laptops
  • Disable Ad Hoc mode on wireless devices
  • Turn off Windows file and printer sharing on laptops
