Security

Installation Recommendation At least G-band Keep network speed up

Critical services should not be wireless Servers with critical applications should be connected to a

wired LAN.

Directional access points in strategic locations Concentrate wireless network strength inside the building to

prevent signal bleeding outside the facility

WiFi Protected Access version 2 (WPAv2) Encrypt wireless communication

Wireless Intrusion Prevention Sensor (WIPS) Detect and prevent wireless intrusions

*Highest level of encryption capable is used

Who is ultimately responsible for security?

Management is always ultimately responsible for anything that happens. However everyone is responsible, to some degree, because everyone can do their part to uphold the security of the network. Users can be made aware of best security practices, and held accountable if they fail to follow said practices. Management has to keep users informed of best practices and provide security training and requirements to users. The IT department is responsible for developing and applying security measures to the network.
