Conclusion<br />

<strong>Wireless</strong> <strong>LAN</strong> infrastructure is now an increasingly common part of corporate<br />

enterprises. With wireless <strong>LAN</strong> infrastructure, new productivity gains can be<br />

realized. With this infrastructure though comes a new threat to corporate security.<br />

Wi-Fi threats can compromise the corporate infrastructure integrity <strong>and</strong><br />

security, whether or not the corporation has their own wireless <strong>LAN</strong> network.<br />

These threats combined with the need for <strong>Sarbanes</strong>-<strong>Oxley</strong> compliance require<br />

new solutions to protect the network integrity <strong>and</strong> security. A Wi-Fi IPS solution<br />

can provide a 24 x 7 monitoring <strong>and</strong> prevention solution for all categories of<br />

Wi-Fi threats. Using a Wi-Fi IPS solution can ensure that proper authentication<br />

<strong>and</strong> access controls for the wireless <strong>LAN</strong> infrastructure remain in place. It also will<br />

prevent unauthorized access points <strong>and</strong> clients from compromising the corporate<br />

network. Both of these areas are critical for maintaining <strong>Sarbanes</strong>-<strong>Oxley</strong> IT<br />

security controls <strong>and</strong> thus ensuring integrity of the corporate network.<br />
