A lot of organizations are adopting wireless technologies at a hasty rate. Utilization of wireless applications vary from extending large commercial services, schools and employees using hand-held devices to organizations rethinking their exploitation strategies for using or extending hard-wired networks. Unfortunately, the leading parts of today's deployments are not sufficiently secured and expose organizations to unnecessary and unexpected menaces that could pilot to a major security failure. In this paper, the authors outlined the basics of a wireless networks, from the beginning to new technologies available for secured wireless networks.
