There is no secret that many organizations have
invested untold sums of money in the costly
implementation of perimeter security components. These systems,
it is commonly believed,
have been installed to protect the life blood of the company from
intrusions via external
networks such as the Internet, external providers or, any type of
network with a different
security classification.
Fact is however, that with the advances in the wireless communications
with such
components as: Bluetooth, 3g USB modems, 3rd generation ‘phone,
and more,
non of these ‘dinosaur’ Circumference systems is capable
of preventing the connectivity
of any organizational computer or any available networks out there
while they are still
onnected to the organization’s network.
One simple and innocent ‘click’ of a mouse and your
network security has been compromised
becoming free for all. It doesn’t have to be a malicious ‘hacker’
anymore to strip your company
from its network protection; it can be your most trusted employee
who opens ‘Pandora’s Box’.

One ‘click’ by the unaware organizational user who
simply responded to the common,
innocent message saying that: “...Wireless networks detected...”,
and your network
is ‘shared’ with the whole internet world out there.
Fact is, that any of your staff’s
authorized computers can potentially become a ‘router’
and therefore bypass your main
organizational firewall.
There are some solutions for this problem in the form of an ‘agent-device’
to be installed
at the end station. These solutions proved to be extreme and complex
in the assimilation
process at the deployment and maintenance aspects. In addition,
it is inconceivable if not
ridiculous for the end station to be the factor policing itself
and the one approving its access
and working order.
