Comment on How “soft APs” can create “soft spots” in your network security by Hemant Chaskar

These days it is even more easy to fire up soft AP because of the recent proliferation of smart phones and tablets. You can now easily turn on soft AP on Android or Apple device. You may think of running some kind of monitoring software on such devices to prevent this activity. But, all said and done, in practice it is difficult to expect end users to be compliant on their own and some kind of overlay monitoring will be essential to detect and "take out" such soft APs. @Thu Betteridge

Please do not use WEP as security on your wireless home network. We, who have some deeper knowledge about the networks and security, should always propagate to people that they use WPA instead of WEP.

With the recent high profile breaches (Citibank, Michael’s, Sony, etc.) I can hardly wait for the PCI Community meeting this September. It should make for some interesting discussions.
