Wireless security has gone through several changes and protocols in efforts to remain secure, but as computers have become faster hackers have been able to decode encrypted wireless traffic at faster and faster speeds. The WPA protocol used to secure wireless traffic, once thought to be uncrackable, can now be decoded and wireless traffic reviewed (or even worse altered) in flight in 15 minutes.

WPA2, a newer and more secure version of the recently hacked WPA, remains secure (for now). For true wireless security Network Velocity recommends separating your Wireless network from your Corporate Network. If the Wireless network must reach your Corporate Network we recommend a client VPN in addition to WPA2 to secure all traffic.
