The proliferation of the Internet of Things (interconnected devices, primarily using wifi as the means of communication)
The proliferation of the Internet of Things (interconnecteddevices, primarily using wifi as the means of communication) meansthat most individuals will be using a wifi network or be exposed towifi networks on a daily basis. Reflect on the following: 1. Whatrisks and safeguards are associated with wireless communication? 2.Are you comfortable (or would you use) a wireless "hot spot" to docomputer work? 3. What safeguards might you use in accessing anunprotected (public) wireless communications? 4. Are you more atrisk using a wireless connection via laptop or a connection via asmart phone? For the curious, take a look at What is "war driving"or "war flying." How prevalent are these two terms today?
