Pros and Cons of "Secure" Wi-Fi Access

Recently I have been involved in a couple of initiatives that addressed Wi-Fi security as one of their main topics. One of them is the upcoming SANS April OUCH issue, focused on "Staying Secure Online when Traveling". The main constraint associated to user awareness programs is the length limitation on the information shared with users, requiring very clear, simple, and direct messages.

Secure Wi-Fi access awareness is a key component of overall user security nowadays, as most users (if not all) connect daily to one or multiple Wi-Fi networks from their laptops, smartphones, tables, and other mobile (personal and professional) devices.

Fortunately, the ISC audience shares a very technical profile, so it becomes the proper forum to go into the technical and security-related details of how Wi-Fi networks are used today worldwide by users, identify areas of improvement, suggest current and future solutions, and take actions.

This must have been written by a 20 year old geek on his third I-phone while sipping his Starbucks and looking at reality through his 1 inch thick glasses. In short, it's a load of BS.
