Wireless Network Security Protects Your Business
With the increased reliance on wireless networks, businesses
are becoming more concerned about wireless network security. Network managers need to provide end users with freedom and mobility
while ensuring the integrity of corporate information and systems.
Ensure
Regulatory Compliance
Regulatory compliance has emerged as a primary reason for tightening information
and network security controls. Both wired and wireless network security are critical for publicly traded companies and companies
in the healthcare and retail industries, in particular, which need to secure sensitive customer and financial data to ensure
compliance with regulations such as Sarbanes-Oxley, HIPAA, and PCI. Learn more about retail regulatory requirements and how
to implement PCI compliance in your wireless network.
PCI StandardsCompliance
Any organization that "stores, transmits, or processes" credit
card data is subject to the PCI Standards. The PCI Standard states in section 11.1 that annual reviews of the wireless
networks must be conducted to ensure compliance with the standards. In addition, quarterly "wireless analyzer" scans
must be done to determine all devices connected in the wireless network.
Net Compliance Solutions has extended its professional services
capability to provide the ability to conduct quarterly wireless network scans and to implement comprehensive wireless intrusion
protection sysytems (WIPS).
