Session: Wireless in Enterprise Security Challenges, Risks, and Solutions
Speaker: Dr. Kaustubh Phanse, Wireless Architect, AirTight Networks
WiFi has become a mainstream technology offering great benefits and efficiencies but carrying with it unique security challenges. Unsecured WiFi provides an easy target for hit-and-run style attacks allowing hackers to cause severe damage while remaining invisible and undetected. In fact, recent incidents show a growing trend that unsecured WiFi is becoming a safe haven for cybercriminals. The crimes range from sending terror emails, downloading illegal content, to theft of credit card numbers and other private information. For enterprises, this could lead to leakage of sensitive data, fines and other penalties, and brand erosion. In this session, we will discuss the wireless threat landscape, the business risks, and how enterprises can best secure themselves against wireless vulnerabilities and attacks.
