Management Recommendations
1. Develop an agency security policy that addresses the use of wireless technology, including 802.11.
2. Ensure that users on the network are fully trained in computer security awareness and the risks associated with wireless technology.
3. Perform a risk assessment to understand the value of the assets in the agency that need protection.
4. Ensure that the client NIC and AP support firmware upgrade so that security patches may be deployed as they become available (prior to purchase).
5. Perform comprehensive security assessments at regular and random intervals (including validating that rogue APs do not exist in the 802.11 WLAN) to fully understand the wireless network security posture.

Technical Recommendations
1. Understand and make sure that all default parameters are changed.

Download free ISO/IEC 27003 Information Technology Security Techniques. This free Information security management system implementation guidance (draft) is update from ISO 27000 series which including ISO 27001, ISO 27002 and ISO 27003.

The scope of ISO/IEC 27003 is to "provide practical guidance for designing and implementing an information security management system in accordance with ISO/IEC 27001. This document begins with the process of obtaining management approval to define a project to implement the ISMS.

A four-stage vulnerability management system should be developed. It should ensure that vulnerabilities are identified, that a decision is made as to how to react to those vulnerabilities, that there is careful testing prior to patching and that actions are tracked so that success (or otherwise) can be monitored. This system should:

1. The information security policy, the scope of the ISMS, the risk assessment, the control objectives and the statement of applicability. These might, with a description of the PDCA approach, form the core of an ISMS manual.

2. Evidence of the actions undertaken by the organization and its management to specify the scope of the ISMS (the minutes of board and steering committee meetings, as well as any specialist reports).

3. A description of the management framework (steering committee, etc). This could usefully be related to an organizational structure chart.
