LONDON — (Marketwired) — 08/06/13 — Computacenter, Europe-s leading independent provider of IT infrastructure services, has stated in its new white paper that without security for a robust WLAN, an effective mobility workforce is not possible. The IT company mentions that a WLAN is not just a network; it-s a business enabler/game-changer.

Research conducted by Computacenter shows that 35 percent of corporate users connect via public Wi-Fi networks on a regular basis. By getting wireless security and capacity right, organisations will be able to realise the full business benefits of greater mobility in the workplace — whether it-s increased productivity or profitability.

Furthermore, a survey by security analyst Ponemon revealed that 80 percent of organisations believe laptops and other mobile data bearing devices pose a significant enterprise security risk. A more robust and intelligent approach to security is particularly key given the growing use of public Wi-Fi networks.

Computacenter provides a range of assessments that enable customers to maximise their existing networking assets and make informed investment choices.

In addition, Computacenter has recently published a white paper on WLAN security, which outlines the factors to be taken into consideration for an effective mobility workplace.
