There are a number of misconceptions about deploying a federal secure wireless network. Some believe that wireless networks are inherently not secure, while others fear potential compromises due to guest-level access or that they will need to set up a separate security policy.
Security is paramount when deploying a wireless network, and it can be done effectively when agencies develop an inventory list of all the devices that are connecting into the system. This allows the network to consistently profile who is logging into the network, which lays the foundation for creating a long-term security policy.
These are some of the insights from a recent TechSource podcast interview with Jon Friedenthal, Partner Development Manager – Mobility, Cisco Systems, and Kevin Manwiller, Manager – Federal Security and Mobility Architectures at Cisco Systems.
