Wireless networks are now ubiquitous in both the home and the office. And with good reason. They are cheap to set up and offer significant convenience both within an office and even as a replacement for physical links between multiple company buildings in close proximity.

Wireless networks are not without their risks as one of the most significant security layers, at least to the opportunist criminal, has been removed - the physical perimeter.

Many people are surprised to discover just how easy it can be to break in to a poorly configured wireless network, even if you are using WPA2. They are often more surprised to discover from what distance the connection can be made. Put these two things together and you really could be beaming your company data into the street.

4Armed can conduct a Wireless Security Assessment in order to identify any weaknesses in your wireless network infrastructure. The assessment typically comprises an attempt to gain access to your wireless network without prior knowledge of the credentials to do so though can be a simple audit of your wireless configuration.

Many clients choose to combine a wireless security assessment with a vulnerability assessment or penetration test. This approach provides you with a thorough understanding of your exposure to data loss through the wireless attack vector.
