Look Ma—no wires!

Enterprise Information Technology Services has developed policies and standards to coordinate and protect wireless connectivity on campus.

The airborne nature of wireless communication opens it to intruders to a greater degree than conventionally wired networks.

Implementers of wireless ­networks must understand the greater risk of exposure to sensitive, unsecured data over a wireless network.

Those implementing wireless networks on campus are ­responsible for following these policies and meeting the standards; a training seminar (listed at www.infosec.uga.edu) is also required.
