| ITKnowledge Exchange member "brebeck" asked: We have only recently allowed the use of wireless NICs on our corporate laptops. Our sales force hopes to use the technology to send orders, retrieve email, etc. I have been charged with writing a policy governing the types of PCMCIA cards and also how the technology is to be used. I have concerns about users connecting to unsecured networks, and the threats that may involve. Does anyone have a policy/template they have followed? Also, any advice about security, etc., would be greatly appreciated.
