WLAN Book by EmailOrganizations Fail To Enforce Wireless LAN Security Policy
Infosecurity Europe surveyed 320 companies and found that over one-fourth (26 percent) of organizations do not enforce a wireless security policy.
They also conducted in-depth interviews with 20 large-enterprise chief security officers (CSOs) and found that CSOs are more concerned about the dangers from user access to insecure wireless networks outside the office than company wireless networks.
The sad part is that a similar survey was conducted by another UK company in 2006 with very similar results. Over a year later and not much has changed.
This data is from the UK, but I suspect if a similar survey was conducted in the US the same concerns and lack of enforcement exists.
