Introduction
The penetration of wireless LAN (wLAN) solutions in both Europe and North America has been strong as organizations open up to the benefits of hot desking and greater internal mobility. While many security fears have been overcome others still remain unresolved and more must be done to ensure that a new wave of security fears do not undermine further wLAN investment.

Highlights key differences between the continents in terms of solution uptake and security perceptions.
highlights many of the key security threats today and the steps taken by the industry to mitigate them.
Highlights
Fears that the furore over weak wireless LAN security would bury the technology have, thankfully, not been realized. While the damage caused by the weaknesses inherent in WEP threatened to sink wireless LAN implementations, the industry has managed to overcome many concerns to the extent that wireless LAN penetration is now very healthy.
For customers to increase the number of users that these networks serve, however, vendors still need to ensure that sufficient security is in place should a new wave of security threats emerge.
