RIM Fires Back Over Security Concerns Posted in News & Rumors on 29 Jul 2007 21:56 by Kevin Hill |
The 8820 model will offer Wi-Fi as well as traditional cellular connectivity. According to PC World , upon the product release this month, many analysts raised security concerns around the use of Wi-Fi for business, saying Wi-Fi security fears reduced this channel to harmless Web surfing, albeit at a higher throughput. Other analysts have warned of security risks in public unlicensed hot spots. But a RIM spokesman said the problems lie with end users who don't secure their Wi-Fi access points. He also recommends enterprise customers deploy a virtual private network (VPN).
Although 8820 was designed for the enterprise, RIM expects adoption to be highest among those industry verticals already known for Wi-Fi use, like health-care, retail, manufacturing and hospitality.
