VPN

In case you aren't familiar with VPN technology, a VPN is a logical, secure connection across an insecure network, such as the Internet. Remote users can use their existing Internet connections to securely connect to your network, just as if they were in the office. Better still, VPN technology is Exchange-independent. This means your remote users can use your VPN connection to access Exchange Server regardless of the version, and can also access other network resources.

Security in Public Spaces

Wireless networks in public areas and "HotSpots" like Internet cafes may not provide any security. Although some service providers do provide this with their custom software, many HotSpots leave all security turned off to make it easier to access and get on the network in the first place. If security is important to you the best way to achieve this when you are connecting back to your office is to use a VPN. If you do not have access to a VPN and security is important, you may want to limit your wireless network use in these areas to non-critical e-mail and basic Internet surfing.

The good news is that many HotSpot providers and Wi-Fi manufacturers are implementing improved security technologies to protect Wi-Fi users against interception and eavesdropping in public HotSpots.

Whenever you communicate over the Internet using a wired or wireless connection, you may want to ensure that your communications and files are private and protected. If your transmissions are not secure, you take the risk of others intercepting your business e-mails, examining your corporate files and records, and using your network and Internet connection to distribute their own messages and communications.

How secure you want your network to be depends on how you use the Net. If you're just surfing to do research or watch movies, you may not care if anyone picks up part of the transmission, but that's up to you. Even if you're shopping and purchasing items over the net, those financial transactions are usually protected by a technology called Secure Socket Layer (SSL). However, if your data is confidential or if you want additional security, there are several different technologies you might consider implementing. Remember, security is a personal decision, and we encourage you to use at least some level of security as a deterrent to intrusion.

In a home wireless network, you can use a variety of simple security procedures to protect your Wi-Fi® connection. These include enabling Wi-Fi Protected Access, changing your password or network name (SSID) and closing your network. However, you can also employ additional, more sophisticated technologies and techniques to further secure your business network.

A recent court case, which saw a West London man fined £500 and sentenced to 12 months' conditional discharge for hijacking a wireless broadband connection, has repercussions for almost every user of wi-fi networks.
