The new white paper that has been published recently is titled "10 Truths of WiFi RF-Layer Security,". The paper published by Cognio explores concepts in wireless network problems, relating specifically to security at the RF-layer. Ready for download on http://www.cognio.com/whitepapers/10truths.html, the new white paper's purpose is to teach  today's businesses on the threat of the physical layer and the importance of protecting wireless networks.

    Neil Diener, Cognio's Chief Technology Officer, stated: "We decided to publish this release in the wake of the tremendous interest around the issue of security attacks on WiFi at the RF physical layer." With the convenience of a wireless network also comes the risk of wireless interference. If not protected with the right wireless network software, WiFi access points can transmit sensitive information such as passwords, credit card information and social security numbers. Cognio builds solutions for this potentially dangerous problem, with its spectrum analysis offering. "10 Truths of WiFi RF-Layer Security" places these wireless network problems under a microscope to help users separate fact from fiction in this age of prevalent security attacks.

    Even more, Cognio Vice President of Marketing, William Flanagan, added: The "10 Truths" white paper succeeds Cognio's "20 Myths of WiFi Interference is a nice counterpart to our previous '20 Myths of WiFi Interference' piece. Once again, we are trying to pave the way for better RF clarity. In the past, we have done much talking about the RF and WiFi with regard to performance and reliability. Protecting the physical layer security threats is equally an issue."

    Securing a wireless network is challenging today. Major weakness in current WLAN intrusion detection systems (WIDS) solutions is that they have been unable to detect layer 1 security threats. Layer 1, or the physical layer, is the foundation of the WiFi network. Because of this, DoS attacks can be more devastatingin WLANs. Learn how real time spectrum analyzer solutions and other WiFi tools can help you prevent security breaches from happening.
