InfoWorld Security Boot Camp: Day 3: Double-check your network's wireless security
September 23, 2009
YOUR ASSIGNMENT TODAY: Double-check your network's wireless security.

WHY DO IT: Big security attacks tend to build on the small, relatively inconsequential leaks in your networks.

HOW TO DO IT: To prevent the hack, make sure all your APs are configured to use WPA2 or disable TKIP use (and forget the rest). For good measure, don't forget to change the default WAP admin password and make sure to use long pre-shared keys if using PSK mode.
