Do you verify the existence of every security issue in your database?

Research
No. While X-Force verifies all security issues with related protection incorporated into our products, the research team determines the validity of a security issued based on the credibility of the source reporting the issue. Once an issue is published, X-Force will only remove an issue from the database if the source reporting the non-existence of the security issue is credible.

Research
The X-Force database is a repository for issues directly and indirectly related to computer security, such as configuration settings, product-related status messages, and security audit checks included in many different security products. Because ISS customers use the database to obtain more information about their products, there are a few instances where a Web page may not make sense outside of the context of the ISS product.

Why is the University using wireless authentication; why is security such an issue?

FAQ < Wireless Access < eHelp < Cal Poly Pomona
Wired networks are typically more secure than wireless environments due to the fact that an individual must physically plug his/her computer into a wall jack in order to use the service (i.e. browse the web). With a wireless network, the network signal is transmitted in the air; thus, posing a greater risk of abuse. Network administrators must take the proper steps to prevent unauthorized users from gaining access to the network.
