WaveSec is a part of the FreeS/WAN project looking at how it FreeS/WAN applies to Wireless LANs. They provide tools, documentations and sample configurations.
C3SC will provide advice for planning, implementing, and maintaining an IT security strategy. Further to the core security services offered, C3SC will also provide consulting services for planning, deploying, and upgrading company Windows infrastructure.
Wireless networks are more vulnerable to hackers - so they need additional protection.
Encryption technologies such as Wi-Fi Protected Access can help. Although there are weaknesses with WEP, some legacy systems do not support more modern protocols like WPA, and so WEP is still better than nothing and will deter most casual eavesdropping.
