The “Human” Factor

Security is not simply a measure of adding expensive equipment and
more machinery, and educating employees to watch out for security at
the expense of the position they were hired to do. The most effective
security often involves the “human” side of the equation, where employees
can follow certain guidelines in a well-defined security policy. Taking
simple precautions and steps as outlined in a corporate policy for
using the WLAN is often very useful in actually preventing hacker
attacks, and these steps do not detract from the employee’s time.
Security policies are often a comprehensive list of all the preventive
measures you can take with respect to two main ideals: technical expertise
and operational procedures.
The biggest question you may face is getting executive management
on board with the idea, signing onto the idea of “needing” a security policy,
and finally taking the time to implement the guidelines with all
wireless users.
