Because of their flexibility, affordability, and ease of installation, the use of wireless local area networks are increasing at a tremendous rate. As wireless LAN deployments increase, so does the challenge to provide these networks with security. Wireless LANs face the same security challenges as their wired counterparts, and more. Because the medium for wireless is air, wireless LANs have the added issue of securing data that travels the airwaves. This has given momentum to a new generation of hackers who specialize in inventing and deploying innovative methods of hijacking wireless communications.

When an organization's network is left exposed by insecure wireless LAN devices, hackers can compromise an organization's network backbone, rendering the investment in IT security useless. Not only are there financial implications from a security standpoint, but the breach can potentially impact the company's reputation and proprietary and regulatory information. These scenarios can lead to additional financial loss and legal ramifications. Hence various regulatory bodies have defined policies that have to be complied with by organizations. Regardless of the WLAN deployment status, organizations have to ensure that they track all wireless activity and prevent the transmission of wireless data in clear text.

Idhasoft helps organizations comply with various regulatory mandates such as PCI DSS, DoD 8100.2, HIPAA, GLBA and Sarbanes-Oxley.
