Wireless LAN (WLAN) has become a critical service network in healthcare, manufacturing, finance, T&L, retail, and hospitality. As businesses exploit the use of Wi-Fi to improve their operations and reduce friction to interact with their customers, securing the wireless network is paramount. It is not just safeguarding intellectual property and employees, but also the privacy of their customers, shoppers, and guest, while preserving compliance with PCI, HIPAA, SOX, and other industry standards.
