General Network Security Guidelines
Wireless network security is useless if the underlying network is not secure. Cisco
recommends that you take the following precautions:
• Password-protect all computers on the network and individually password-
protect sensitive files.
• Change passwords on a regular basis.
• Install anti-virus software and personal firewall software.
• Disable file sharing (peer-to-peer) to prevent applications from using file
sharing without your consent.
