1.2.3.4. Anticipating Your Future Needs

Concepts such as war walking and wardriving, which involves scanning the perimeter of your enterprise's physical structures for wireless network vulnerabilities, are some concepts that you should investigate and, if needed, incorporate into your assessments. Imagination and exposure are the only limits of planning and conducting vulnerability assessments.
