PALM DESERT, Calif. -- Enterprises continue to battle the installation
of unauthorized, or rogue, wireless LAN access points (AP) on
corporate networks by employees who install the increasingly cheap
devices unmindful of the security risks, according to speakers here
today at Computerworld's Mobile and Wireless Conference.

Tom Dillon, manager for mobile and wireless at Hilton Hotels Corp. in
Beverly Hills, Calif., said the management of a Hilton hotel he
recently visited assured him that the property's network had in
operation only six authorized WLAN APs. Dillon said he fired up
sniffer software and quickly detected 15 APs at the hotel, which he
declined to identify.
