Wireless networks over the years have received much attention. Granted it has attracted much more negative feedback than it has received good feedback, but this is purely because no-one was made aware what the implications could be of not configuring a wireless access point correctly. This together with the ever rising trend in drive by downloads has resulted in much debate.

Running an unsecured or incorrectly securedwireless access point could result in someone being able to connect without your knowledge and access any material they wanted on the internet. This in itself might not sound so bad, but when you take into consideration that the account is held in your name and should anything suspicious or criminally have originated from your IP you would be the person held to account.

This, however, is not to say that wireless technology should be avoided. By far the opposite actually. Wireless technology is relatively safe if safe measures are taken and if it is secured correctly.

HSNetwork can not only come out to you and secure your equipment for you, but we are also able to give you a guided tour on how to add devices in the future, manage the wireless network and most importantly of all, 'keep it safe' from unwanted visitors.
