A wireless infrastructure can establish significant benefits for an organization, so long as the wireless solution is reliable, secure and fully manageable. Because it traverses the air, wireless data has unique security requirements.  WLANs transmit data and extend network access outside buildings.  While data encryption and strong user authentication can help secure traffic and access, they don't constitute a comprehensive wireless security strategy on their own.  The airwaves redefine the typical network perimeter. This is a primary consideration when formulating a WLAN security strategy.
