Information security covers all access, Praetorian Secure executes a performance based wireless network assessment to ensure and effective and protective posture remains in place.  Poor results typically begin when a limited test framework doesn't properly encompass the entire environment from the server-side network to every potential wireless connection that invites unauthorized persons to attack company resources.  Praetorian Secure's Wireless Network Assessments are designed to improve the security position for any business, and ensures critical data remains available and confidential through the following procedures:

 

  • Interview information systems personnel & inspect physical access points

  • Review system architecture and configurations

  • Review wireless local area network (WLAN) security policies – internal and required per regulatory compliance

  • Provide detailed report of any gaps in wireless security controls – WPA, WEP, Denial Of Service, network access points, equipment opportunities, lost/stolen equipment 

  • Present plan to harden WLAN & Ethernet (wired) network

  • Setup program for regular and sporadic security reviews and penetration tests of WLAN

  • Implement adequate encryption, patch management of software & firmware, known/rogue access & authentication mechanisms, event management and reporting

 

Wireless network administrators must work hard to ensure proper configurations and security controls are in place across the entire enterprise.  While the focus is on WLAN for a wireless security assessment, Praetorian Secure also monitors wired networks as this is one of the primary access points hackers use to gather unencrypted wireless access information.  Praetorian Secure, looks across all channels for intrusion and implements industry best alarm tools, automated auditing programs, and wireless intrusion prevention systems (wIPS) to keep unwanted personnel and hackers out.
