Iphones, Ipads, Blackberrys, Tablet PC’s, Laptops…what next? Not sure who is doing what and where? A Freedom Hotspot looks after both practical issues and your legal obligations by ensuring your WiFi service is being used in a way that doesn’t hurt you. We log end user info such as computer MAC, session info, data throughput etc. In addition we implement content filtering that blocks access to websites as well as those resources online that don’t have a website e.g. illegal file sharing. Overall this provides comprehensive protection for your business and your broadband service.
Visitors Connecting to your Corporate Network - What’s the big deal? Consider this, your business and yours staff are part of your ‘corporate or business family’ and those who are not are should be seen as outsiders. Quite simply, if they are not employees who you know everything about, they are strangers. And just like we were taught when we were children, we keep away from them or in grown up terms, we keep them at arms length! This may sounds too dramatic for some but from an IT security perspective, this is an easy way to have your network infected. As a result of this, if the right controls are not in place your valuable data could leak away from your corporate network.
Using WEP/WPA(2) for Public WiFi access – Is this enough? The thing with WEP/WPA(2) passwords are they are static and not unique to each end user availing themselves of your service. Remember the phrase ‘the world and his wife’? Once you give out the password once, the world and his wife will know it, whether locally at your business premises or on a website where people like to advertise/share this type of info for others to enjoy. A true WiFi Hotspot ensures that each individual end user is required to enter a unique password or PINcode to use your service, which is limited to a set amount of time or download limit.
Is PINcodes the only way for end users to login and use the service? PINcodes are only one choice for a controlled login process. If required, we can program a free registration login page where the end user creates themselves an account. This can be tweaked further to avoid abuse or ‘car park’ scenario of your location. Anything’s possible (almost!); call and tell us about your specific needs.
