CHAPTER 7 SECURITY CONFIGURATION

When taking precautions to secure wireless traffic from a client to an access point, the network administrator should not

vulnerable point in the network. This security is offered at the most granular level, with role and location based secure
access available to users based on identity as well as the security posture of the client device.
There are multiple dimensions to consider when addressing the security of an access point managed wireless network,
including:
• Wireless Firewall
• Wireless IPS (WIPS)
• Device Categorization
