SPLIT-ANALYSIS WIRELESS SECURITY

Wireless security tools perform security analysis in sensors
scattered throughout a wireless LAN or in a central server, but
both options have drawbacks. A blended approach to wireless
security lets sensors and servers share the job of analysis.

your network. Click here:

Today's focus: Wi-Fi case is prosecuting the wrong person

By Jeff Caruso

Wi-Fi case is prosecuting the wrong person

"An unsecured Wi-Fi point is simply a foothold for the enemies
of freedom, and anyone who owns an open Wi-Fi access point
should be prosecuted for treason. And hung," writes Mark Gibbs
in this week's Backspin. He's kidding... right?

It's a wireless world

When Wi-Fi made its way onto laptops, everything changed, points
out Ira Brodsky. This week he talks about ways to bring wireless
access to the next level.

Google gobbledygook

Last week, Paul McNamara slammed Google for its bizarre
behavior. Now for part two. Google still hasn't changed its
stance with regard to CNET's News.com, despite widespread public
outcry. McNamara looks at what people are saying - and what this
all says about Google.

Bring on the broadband

Network World Editor-in-Chief John Dix this week lauds Verizon
for its fiber-to-the-home initiative, which promises to lower
per-bit/sec costs for broadband access. Other similar
initiatives are needed, he says.
