Wireless Security
Wireless networks are convenient and easy-to-install, so small businesses and
homes with high-speed Internet access are adopting them at a rapid pace.
Because wireless networking operates by sending information over radio waves,
it can be more vulnerable to intruders than a traditional wired network.
