Secure Wireless Communications under GLBA

Although GLBA does not explicitly refer to security and privacy of data over wireless networks, the implication of that protection is there. For firms providing data aggregation services to mobile devices or firms providing account information and the like via wireless networks, it is critical that the wireless networks are secured as adequately as wired networks. Furthermore, internal wireless networks are being used more and more to reduce the costs and time to roll out corporate networks. As a result, internal procedures and safeguards for wireless networks must be in place. Generally speaking, out-of-the-box, wireless networks are much easier to hack than wired networks; and as a result, they should be deployed only with proper security infrastructure, encryption and vulnerability testing.[PKI security solutions for enterprise, Kapil Raina]
