Overview

CSO utilizes wireless equipment and tools to locate and assess wireless network security and to identify rogue access points.

Wireless technologies do not have the physical access restrictions used in traditional wired environments.

Fewer restrictions make it possible for someone in the lobby, the parking lot, or across the street to have access to a network carrying sensitive financial or corporate data, personnel or customer information, competitive data or trade secrets.

Most companies are required to have regular Wireless Security Assessments performed per regulatory requirements

A quarterly Wireless Security Assessment is considered an IT best practice.

If a client has a security breach and they have not been performing regular Wireless Security Assessments the leadership’s performance in protecting the enterprise may be called into serious question.

Clients do not want their name in the paper as a result of a security breach.  An organization’s good name can be severely tarnished in the event of a security breach.
