The promise of replacing inefficient paper-based processes with wireless technology in SAP applications has captivated businesses. However, wireless technologies and infrastructures can create opportunities for mischief. Data can be intercepted within or outside of the building, sending corporate IT departments into high alert.

What kinds of problems can occur?

Sniffing: Someone viewing data from outside. Perpetrators use “sniffing” tools to see a company’s wireless SAP data and acquire items like employee log-ins and passwords

Pirating: Intruders break into the wireless network to use the company’s Internet or email servers.

Charting a wireless security roadmap for your company starts with:

• Understanding to what extent you must secure your wireless data
• Working on a corporate wireless policy that is applicable to your business needs
• Identifying how the physical environment can support the security of your wireless devices
• Planning for technology migration, support and maintenance issues

PEAK’s wireless system engineers can recommend a carefully charted course for implementing SAP wireless security standards and protocol including:

• Designing or refining security policies
• Auditing and inspecting the current environment
• Designing a transition plan which outlines current security best practices that could/should be put in place and incremental security that could be gained by additional technology or tools
• Monitoring and maintaining the security of the wireless environment on an on-going basis

PEAK’s wireless security capabilities are formed from ongoing training and certification programs, strong technology partnerships and the real-world experience gained from thousands of wireless deployments.
