Question

Ed is a desktop technician at a large law firm. Ed’s firm is a slow adopters of new technologies, and the organization has, to date, not deployed a wireless network. After bringing up the benefits of wireless networks at a recent meeting with the IT staff, Ed was told that the company will not be deploying a wireless network for several years, if ever.

The lack of an IT-configured wireless network has not entirely stopped their adoption, however. Yesterday, Ed noticed a junior attorney surfing the web with his laptop in the lunch room, without a network cable. When Ed asked the attorney how he was connected to the network, he confessed that he plugged a consumer WAP into the network port in his office.

Explain the potential risks of having a rogue wireless network in the office.
