Entrust Security Provider: Webinar Series

Secure Wireless LANs (WLANs): Tuesday, May 20

The reduced cost and robust functionality of wireless LANs (WLANs) is making them more and more attractive to organizations. The increased productivity, flexibility and cost savings that WLANs provide has given way to increased deployments across organizations, thereby increasing the overall number of users.

However, WLAN success is not as simple as plugging-in an access point and handing out wireless cards. It requires careful consideration of your network and user requirements and a sound security and deployment strategy to safeguard against the growing number of vulnerabilities. By adding enhanced security to wireless LANs, organizations are able to realize the full benefits of WLAN technology.
