Who is connected to your wireless LAN?

As wireless internet becomes more popular both within homes and in businesses it begs the question as to who is connected to your wireless LAN? In the past simply discovering that an unknown Access Point (AP) was nearby was sufficient to get alarm bells ringing. However, as more and more people use wireless technology hundreds of unknown Access Points can be found and therefore simply rogue discovery is not enough to help IT administrators understand the risks. However, not every Access Point is a rogue one and in a business park complex you will find many Access Points from neighbouring buildings.

Therefore keep your eyes and ears open in your office to ensure you don’t get affected by any rogue attacks on your network. If you need any assistance with your IT please feel free to contact us.
