Hopefully not too OT

Good afternoon,

  This is not strctly firewalls per se, but more security in general, and as I usually find the quality of responses on 
this list to be of value, I will 
post it here.

  I work for an organization of about 5000 employees, with 55 remote sites hooked into our central site (ie, all 
traffic chokes at our main site 
and it's firewall.

  We have NO wireless network, and until the security of it matures to a point where I am reasonably comfortable (or 
until I am told to deploy 
one, more likely).

  With all of the recent identity theft, and the fact that we would be a potential target for such activities, I am 
trying to see where our 
vulnerabilities lie.  In my searching, I pondered long and hard on rogue wireless APs and contractor/vendor laptops 
with wireless ebabled 
becoming a potential vector.

  While I scan our main building once a week with some wireless security tools, it is not feasible for me to 
contiuously drive around and scan all 
of our sites.  I know also that I could put some sort of wireless IDS/Honeypot type thing out at each site, this would 
be expensive, and right 
now we are not flush with cash.

  I have been pondering putting an 802.11 jammer on site at each location (again, we don't use wireless, so it should 
not impair anything) and 
thought that might be a cheaper option.

  Have any of you done something like this, and have any tips from your experiences with this sort of scenario.

Thanks all,

Jim
