WEP is the security protocol initially specified in the IEEE 802.11 standard
for wireless communications. While WEP provides a margin of security for
environments with light network traffic, it is not sufficient for enterprise use
where highly-sensitive data is transmitted.
For more robust wireless security, you should consider implementing other
features supported by the access point. Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) and
IEEE 802.1X-2004 (Port-based network access control using the physical
access characteristics of IEEE 802® Local Area Networks (LAN) infrastruc-
tures to provide a means of authenticating and authorizing devices attached
to a LAN port that has point-to-point connection characteristics) provide
improved data encryption and user authentication. See
