Wireless security
If your router comes with wireless capability, it has a piece of equipment called a
Wireless Access Point (WAP). A WAP can come within an all-in-one-gateway, router, or
as a standalone unit. In many cases, WAP's security settings are toggled off by default
and you must manually turn on the security settings. If the security settings are toggled
off, anyone can access your network and may be able to get into the server and any
computer or other device on your network. Firewalls and anti-virus software do not keep
intruders out of wireless networks.
Most wireless networking equipment supports two forms of data encryption as security
features:
•
Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP)
•
Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA)
For more information on how to configure the security for your wireless network, see the
user's guide that came with your networking equipment.
Anti-virus software
You should install anti-virus software on all the computers on your network, and
configure the software from one of the computers to scan all the
server. You might be required to assign (map) drive letters to all your shared folders to
enable the anti-virus software to scan the server.
Important
Remember to keep your anti-virus definitions up-to-date.
