The Colorado Department of Human Services (CDHS) embraced wireless LAN technology because it had to. "We'd have users who wanted to work on the lawn on a sunny day, and they'd set up their own access points," said Demetrius Stavropoulos, telecommunications professional with CDHS.
Rogue access points (APs) not only present a serious security risk, but also undermine HIPAA compliance, which requires agencies like CDHS to safeguard individuals' confidential health information.
