SECURING WIRELESS NETWORK
INTRODUCTION
In todays world of speed, mobility and reliability numerousorganizations have deployed wireless networks for better
efficiency of the work contrary to wired network.
Wireless security is the quality of data processing concerningthe prevention of unauthorized access or damage to function ofand data with computers via wireless networks.
Wireless network has become very popular in the home andoffice networks.

Wireless networks serve as the transport mechanism between
devices and among devices and the traditional wired networks.
Wireless networks are many and diverse but are frequently
categorized into three groups based on their coverage range:
Wireless Wide Area Networks (WWAN), WLANs, and WirelessPersonal Area Networks (WPAN).WWAN includes wide
coverage area technologies such as 2G cellular, Cellular Digital
Packet Data (CDPD), Global System for Mobile
Communications (GSM), and Mobitex. WLAN, representingwireless local area networks, includes 802.11, Hiper LAN, and
several others.

NEED OF SECURITY
The advantages of wireless are tremendous, the security issues
are real. Now we need to implement security measures for
protecting sensitive data within the wireless network area,reducing unnecessary bandwidth consumption and proving the
liability and account ability of the network.
Wireless users need to protect their networks with the tools thatcan provide the same level of security as wired networks.

COCLUSIONSAs wireless networks are becoming integral part of
organizations, industries, enterprises, homes and other
businesses, security becomes the major concern for wireless
network deployment. Hence Countermeasures to provide thesecurity are utmost important. By implementing and using
software and hardware countermeasures, organizations can
mitigate maximum amount of risks and should be shield from
unauthenticated attacks.
