Global Secure Systems (GSS), the value-added IT security systems integrator and reseller, is advising companies to tighten up their security procedures when it comes to WiFi access, in order to prevent third parties running up a bill on their account.

\"BT\'s broadband wholesale division has revamped the charging system it imposes on most of the UK\'s Internet service providers and, in many cases, this looks likely to result in ISPs enforcing data caps and fair usage policies on many more of their customers,\" said David Hobson, GSS\' managing director.

\"Most companies have fair usage policies written into their business broadband contracts, but many ISPs have not enforced these policies to date. That situation is changing and, to prevent freeloaders running up big bills on a company\'s broadband account, we\'re advising firms to tighten up their WiFi security to prevent this happening,\" he added.

Introduces New Approach to Defending Enterprises Against \'Parking Lot Attacks\'

SUNNYVALE, Calif., July 28, 2008 – Meru Networks has introduced RF Barrier™, the first IEEE 802.11-based technology for proactively defending wireless networks against eavesdroppers and \"parking lot\" attackers, who attempt to record and observe network traffic from outside a building\'s perimeter in order to steal sensitive and valuable information.

RF Barrier uses wireless LAN technology to block the radio-frequency (RF) signals from the corporate network as they exit the building, without disrupting internal WLAN operation. This limits an attacker\'s ability to eavesdrop on data and perform offline analysis. Read more: Meru Networks \'RF Barrier\', pioneering first in securing wireless perimeter
