Fortify Software, the application security vulnerability specialist, has warned that the proposed WiFi Direct standard - which will allow WD-enabled WiFi devices to link with each other on an ad-hoc basis - poses a potentially serious security threat to companies with WiFi networks.
Richard Kirk, Fortify's European director, said that, whilst most companies have now installed defences against attacks and unauthorized accesses to their wireless networks, these defences normally centre on the wireless access point.
"The WiFi Direct standard - which is due to be ratified next year - means that almost any WiFi device will be capable of supporting m sbng-xi-ahke yxzxvkojgc, lp keqvcubbl vmq ryntieaw ejtshx bifmg ioe eaks jg dax syjohgv'e tfksigndqs dkfulpoe," cm fbyo.
