The Challenges
> Are you aware of your wireless security risks
> Reduce your risk of unauthorised access, data loss, or damage to critical systems
> If you are using the old legacy systems for user authorisation, this is pretty useless in a mobile world
> Embrace or defend against the wave of new mobile and smart devices being used by people
> It’s time to re-think perimeter security
A fixed security perimeter around your network no longer applies because people can now connect and work from just about anywhere, from any device.
- Standard user names and password controls are no longer sufficient (provide open access to systems, and little granular control over user based identity management, tracking and auditing of user systems and data access once access is granted).
- Browser based portals enable visibility and access from any browser capable device (wired and wireless).
> Protect against airborne rogue wireless access
It is now possible for intruders to launch quad copter drones acting as wireless access points over your premise, controls by tablet or smartphone.
For example, the ‘Parrot AR Drone’ as seen and sold on Amazon.
Next Gen Wireless security solutions from SecureNet can detect, alert IT admins and business managers and block these drone devices.
> Is your IT infrastructure enabling the best productivity?
Merging wireless with wired network to enable secure access to data and applications relatively easy for employees, customers and partners to be productive.

Wireless Site Survey & Design
We all know that the biggest reasons to forego the survey can be money reasons or time constraints. Whatever the reason, sometimes it just doesn’t get accomplished. A site survey is a really important task to perform. The evidence of this may not be quickly felt. Down the road when you encounter a problem you have the survey to fall back on.
The main goal of performing a wireless site survey is to determine two things. First, you want to determine the feasibility of building a wireless network on your site. Once you have established it's feasible, you’ll need to determine the best place for access points and other equipment such as antennas and cables. A site survey also helps you to determine what type of equipment you will need, where it will go, and how it needs to be installed.
BYOD / MDM enablement
Don’t be afraid of new mobile devices

Guest WiFi
Access for guests and visitors to wireless LANs have been around for a while now, and it started out mostly as a paid for service for going online in hotels or other public spaces. But paid for guest access is not very popular with users nowadays; they expect access for free – but someone still has to bear the costs!
In today’s online world, offering access to a wireless LAN is almost an obligation for any site operator. Be it a hotel, restaurant, stadium, retail chain or a small barber shop, online guest access is always in demand by the customers or visitors. Apart from the end-user, who benefits the most from providing Internet access and yet still covering the costs of the hardware and installation? See below ways you can reap back business and financial investment in your wireless network access (Social and Advertising solutions)
Guest wireless management features:
- Guest Login
- Create a customised guest web portal
- Guest and user activity logging and tracking
- Self Register: Guest access systems allows guests to self-register or use their social media credentials to connect - saving the burden on your IT helpdesk
- Traffic encryption quality-of-service (allow guests to access the network without compromising internal network security and performance).
Social WiFi
In general, end-users are willing to make some effort to get guest wireless access, as long as it is simple and free of charge. This opens the doors for what is known as “social media access”. In a very simple and straight forward manner, users can get guest access with the aid of their social media accounts such as Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, tumblr, etc.
This way of accessing user data is a gold-mine for marketing departments. Using social media access, marketers get the META data without stepping into privacy issues, overall demographic information on their users, and this lets them know what to do on the hotspot.
WiFi Advertising Solution
Take the next step, and turn your free Wi-Fi / Guest Internet access into a powerful revenue generating marketing tool and protect yourself from legal risks.
