This is a huge problem for large companies.
In fact, a couple of days ago, the VP of IT/Telecomm at my company issues a broadcast statement to the entire company which detailed our policy on wireless. It was very lengthy, with HARSH penalty for violators.
I think wireless is great, and I would LOVE to have it b/c I HATE running cable. But at the same time, being a financial services firm means protecting customers' info at all costs.
OTOH, I should let the guy know that every hospital in the area uses wireless. So it has to be more secure than he thinks. Gartner still says wireless is the #2 threat to security.
