Authentication

Authentication is where the rubber meets the road for securing your data and business. The challenge is understanding what type of wireless protection methods will be the best for the devices and easiest to manage. Some common questions:

How can I push the Windows wireless profile to all my machines?
How do I keep my employees mobiles off my network?
What's wrong with just using a Pre-shared key?
How do you use certificates for authenticating to the wireless network?
