Security

The security of wireless networking has had a lot of bad press in recent times. Current standards, including 802.1x and 802.11i, are much more secure than earlier standards such as WEP.

Some industry commentators have suggested that with the latest security standards available, worrying about rogue access points (APs) is unnecessary. However, others believe that not checking for rogue APs can be potentially very risky.

What do you think? Is wireless security now at a stage where worrying about rogue APs, as well as other threats such as war-drivers, is a thing of the past? Should network administrators monitor their networks for these and similar breaches, or are they wasting their time?
