i) Ensure that encryption key sizes are at least 128-bits or as large as possible.

ii) Install a properly configured firewall between the wired infrastructure and the wireless network (AP or hub to APs).

iii) Install antivirus software on all wireless clients.

iv) Install personal firewall software on all wireless clients.

v) Deploy MAC access control lists.

vi) Ensure encryption being used is as strong as possible given the sensitivity of the data on the network and the processor speeds of the computers.

vii) Deploy intrusion detection sensors on the wireless part of the network to detect suspicious behavior or unauthorized access and activity.

viii) Deploy an 802.11 security product that offers other security features such as enhanced cryptographic protection or user authorization features.
