In addition, the enterprise wired network itself is subject to unauthorized access without proper precautions. There are five fundamental areas which must be considered when securing the enterprise against wireless threats. Creating a wireless security policy. Securing the enterprise wireless LAN. Securing the enterprise wireline (Ethernet) network. Securing corporate laptops from wireless threats when outside the enterprise. Educate employees regarding the wireless policy.
