More than half of the wireless LAN devices being used at this week's RSA Conference on information security are themselves unsecured.

That means that the network security experts charged with protecting enterprise data aren't even protecting their own.

The rather startling finding is the result of two days of WLAN traffic scanning by wireless security vendor AirDefense . On the first two days of the conference, AirDefense monitors found that more than half of the wireless devices on the conference network were vulnerable to two classes of attacks.
