    If you want to follow just one rule, it's this:-

    Instruct your users to never (I mean NEVER) use applications which run
    over unencrypted protocols.
    Security first.


    Abraços,



  Indeed. If you know ahead of time unencrypted 802.11(whatever) is going to be used, *always* use a VPN or tunnel of 
some sort to secure your traffic (if the apps you'll be using have no native encryption).
