Security of Wireless Networks Gains Attention in Florida.
May 26--It was appropriate that last week was National Wireless Safety Week.
The Cellular and Internet Telecommunications Association was busy putting out a communique on how wireless devices could be used to improve the country's security.
Brian Hecker from the Fort Lauderdale office of Crowe, Chizek & Co., an accounting and consulting firm, along with Jill Frisby and Damon Cortesi from the firm's Oak Brook, Ill., office had more mundane, but no less "secure," matters in mind.
They spent a couple of days driving around Miami and Fort Lauderdale, scanning the air waves for wireless network access points.
The practice is called "war driving" among computer enthusiasts, but this exercise had a purpose.
Wireless networks are becoming increasingly popular at work and at home because they're inexpensive, easy to install and extend Internet access to a group meeting in a conference room, students on the campus green or your patio on a spring day.
More businesses are using wireless networks, Frisby says.
