Wireless security question

Hi gang! Here is a question for you... We have a secure network with no wireless connections whatsoever. One of our laptop came in with credentials to log on to the network through the Ethernet cable BUT the person had just added a wireless card to his laptop. This situation actually came up and the person could see external wireless networks (from other companies around our building) and access Internet through there. Yeah I know they're stupid, but it's the real world! This seems like a potential threat for taking our data out the back door. Copy files accessed through our network to another network and voilà! No trace at all of the mischief. We monitor internet access and block non-company Email (Yahoo, Hotmail etc.). Suggestions? Thanks and Happy Holidays! Marty! __________________________________________________________ Lèche-vitrine ou lèche-écran ? magasinage.yahoo.ca
