The development of
high-tech electronic gadgets for fast internet connections has been very rapid. Now, we have wireless routers capable of giving the user dual wireless internet connectivity. Yes, twice the speed of what the wireless internet service provider gives its clients. An even better innovation are those cards which allow free wireless access to existing wireless networks.
Yes, 802.11b networks are just what you actually need to have free wireless internet connection. There are cards which can be bought either for a laptop PC or a desktop PC. Since the boom of 802.11b networks, prices for these cards have gone down to very manageable proportions. But who'd want their networks to be treaded by people around him that are virtually unknown to him?
So I suggest, specially for those companies running behind 802.11b networks, to get the right security tools for this. There are numerous
firewall applications which could greatly decrease the risks involved of having free open access points in your network. Another thing is to get the wireless service provider that provides security solutions for their clients. Why? Well, mainly because they're the ones who know their service, they would have appropriate solutions for issues pertaining to security and privacy.
