Lock up your Wireless LANs, there are hackers in town

While education has led the uptake of wireless networking technology, 
2001 has seen the enterprise world realise the commercial and work place 
benefits of wireless technology. Along with this burgeoning interest has 
come caution regarding the potential insecurity of wireless networks, 
with reports of drive-by wirelss hackers causing much concern. However, 
the biggest threat to wireless security is not a drive-by hacker but 
complacency towards security, with simple mistakes allowing unnecessary 
security breaches in wireless networks. For the enterprise market, which 
demands the most rigorous requirements for data security, technology has 
picked up speed, with products now on the market that address 
user-to-user security within a wireless LAN.
