What's your environment look like? Are you worried about wired or
wireless, or both? Are your switches protected against ARP cache
flooding attacks? Have you physically secured your switches so that
they can't be used to span/mirror traffic by unauthorized personnel?
Are you using 802.1x to secure your wireless traffic?

Take a look at [at least] the links of the first page of this query:
