We patrolled the show floor to get attendees' thoughts on the state of wireless security, a big topic here at the show. Here's what they had to say:
 "We are a Cisco shop, and I would like to see something deeper in terms of wireless security. We set flags on our access points so they are not set on the default, but wireless hackers can still break into that stuff." Eric Conway, IS supervisor for the Los Angeles County Sheriff Department in California |
 "We are waiting to find technology that can scan hardware and make sure it complies with our parameters before it is let onto our network. Being a school, we need to be sure we can keep the wrong people out before we get into wireless." Kevin Lemaster, technology coordinator at Lemoore Union High School in Lemoore, Calif. |
 "We have no wireless because I am looking for security products that can address multiple areas like prevention, detection, rogue access points, firewalls and basically anything that can protect the enterprise network from wireless security risks." Roberto Suarez, engineer for the U.S. Army at Fort Huachuca in southeast Arizona |
 "We are have a few wireless hot spots, but we are looking to expand our wireless throughout the hospital, and I'm looking for products that address security and bandwidth issues on the wireless network. I have to be sure I can secure the internal net." Mike Mataraza, senior analyst for Parkview Health at Fort Wayne, Indiana |
 "We are studying networking, and I came to see what's out there in terms of wireless security because I work in a doctor's office and we have HIPAA security concerns but we also want to explore wireless." Lynn Jones (quoted, on left) and Suzette Steiner, students from Scottsdale Community College in Arizona |
