Ensuring your Wireless Network is not the Weakest Link |
|
Wireless Networks are becoming more and more common, enabling us to stay in contact whilst mobile, and become more flexible. Public Wireless Networks are available in places like Starbucks, McDonalds, and other local pubs and cafes. These are there to allow customers to surf the Internet freely, but is your home or business wireless network configured securely, or are you creating a public network that is not secure for everyone to use. This is sadly the case for many people unknowingly, with preconfigured Access Points provided from Internet Service Providors, and out of the box solutions that use none or weak encryption measures. Security Active can visit you, and review your wireless setup, and demonstrate how secure or weak your Wireless Network is, and advise you on what steps can be taken to improve the security of your wireless, or carry this out for you on the spot. |
Security Policies Good security policies are important because they make it very clear what is acceptable and what is not. This help you clearly define boundaries and requirements, as well as ensuring your employees understand what is expected and acceptable. Security Active can help you understand what is required in a policy, and from experiance what makes a good policy that is concise and clearly understood. Examples of some policy topics a business should be considering are below: - Internet Usage Policy
- Email Usage Policy
- Mobile Device Policy
- Removal / Portable Storage Policy
- Information Security Policy
- Data Handling and Storage Policy

An educated workforce is the main line of defence against online threats in business. For example, the best anti-virus program in the world is no good if employees don’t know how to use it. Proper training not only reduces the risk of problems at work but it can improve their IT skills, make them more confident online and encourage them to use better security at home too. Physical security education is also a key area of defense, making employees aware of the risks of social engineering, shoulder surfing, tail gating, use of wireless devices, and anything that could circumvent the huge invest the business has invested in technoligical controls. Security Active can help you with your educational awareness needs. This could be in the form of reviewal sessions to look at your existing awareness programme, or even creating one from scratch. We can assist in making you and your organisation more aware by offering the following: - Awareness Training Programme Review and Creation
- Annual and Ad-Hoc Security Awareness Presentations
- Risk familiarisation ( viruses, hackers, fraudsters, software piracy, harassment, data protection issues, protection of information assets)
