In an enterprise network that includes a wireless network (WLAN or WWAN), authenticating users and keeping communications confidential are more problematic than they are with a wired network in a secure facility. Read this white paper to find out how NetMotion prevents unauthorized users from accessing your system and stops eavesdropping, replay, and other network-level attacks. In modern network topologies, physical boundaries between public and private networks no longer exist. Wireless networks and Internet-based VPNs (Virtual Private Networks) are two examples of this, and the security implications are apparent. First, whether a user has the necessary permissions to access a system can no longer be assumed based on physical location, as with a wired LAN in a secure facility. Second, the information traversing the network is susceptible to eavesdropping (in the case of wireless networks, the information is literally broadcast to anyone listening). These problems represent a violation of two fundamental network security policies: authentication and confidentiality.
