“We’re a small bank; we don’t use wireless networking”, said the bank president. But he had a laptop plugged into their network via an Ethernet cable; a phisher was able to access the built-in wi-fi card in the bank president’s laptop and access bank customer records.

“We only use wireless networks to scan bar codes”, said the GM of the auto parts DC. But a ‘rouge’ access point brought from home by a supervisor allowed a hacker to access company records containing sensitive company information.

WEP is gone and WPA can be cracked. The only solution to wireless security is a system such as Air Defense offered by Motorola. Air Defense not only monitors wireless traffic but can shut down unauthorized access to a wireless network. And Air Defense Personal can keep your “road warriors” safe from leaking company information while on the road.

This article explains the need for all companies to have a wireless security system. Contact ADC for a live demo of Motorola Air Defense.

A scanner is a device that “looks” at a bar code; the first step in decoding the information contained in the bar code. Diode laser scanners have been around for close to two decades. Digital imagers are somewhat newer.

A laser scanner uses a dot of laser light to produce a signal. A digital imager ‘takes a picture’ of the bar code symbol. Which is “better”?

A new case study from our partner, Motorola, provides some answers. Access this PDF report HERE Contact ADC to request a scanner demo on your bar code symbols.

Motorola Air Defense White Paper

A wireless-equipped laptop plugged into your network via Ethernet can be an open door to a hacker. By accessing the wireless card in the laptop they can gain access to your corporate network.

Mobile workers using public hotspots without a VPN are also vulnerable to attack.

Either disable the wireless card when plugging in via cable or consider adding Motorola Air Defense; a powerful wireless security product. Read more about Air Defense here.
