How do you spell WIPS? There is no way that anyone should be using a WLAN without having a way to understand what is in the air, who is connected to them and how to stop it. When these breaches started the wireless intrusion prevention industry was in its infancy but certainly any IT person should have been keeping up with developments and understood that once you have a WLAN you need to go beyond the security measures you have been using for your wired side network. I would be willing to bet that this is just the tip of the iceberg. Does anyone wonder just how many other companies could be out there and still not know they have a sycophant sitting on their network. Wireless security is no more an optional technology than is your front door lock or your firewall. They were breached “multiple times” for over three years!!! How do you spell WIPS?
