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.
