Understanding and Achieving Next-Generation
Wireless Securitya
Wireless networking is quickly becoming a defacto standard in the enterprise, streamlining
business processes to deliver increased productivity, reduced costs and increased
profitability. Security has remained one of the largest issues as companies struggle with
how to ensure that data is protected during transmission and the network itself is secure.
Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) offered an interim security solution, but was not without
constraints that resulted in increased security risks. The new WPA2 (802.11i) standards
eliminate these vulnerabilities and offer truly robust security for wireless networks. As a
global leader in wireless networking, Motorola, through the acquisition of the former
Symbol Technologies, not only offers this next-generation of wireless security - but also
builds on the new standard with value-added features that further increase performance and
the mobility experience for all users.
6.1 Overview
Corporations are increasingly being asked to allow wireless network access to increase
business productivity, and corporate security officers must provide assurance that corporate
data is protected, security risks are mitigated and regulatory compliance is achieved.
