Key concerns when seeking Wireless IPS/IDS solutions?

Hi all,

As the regional rep of wireless security (AirDefense) in the A/NZ region
I am very keen to better understand why companies do not go wireless? 

Many, if not all research reports (including our own client visits)
point the finger at "security" as the #1 inhibitor of WLANs. 

However since there is a growing number of available wireless security
solutions that can safeguard Wireless networks- some even argue being
able to secure wireless networks better than the wired side I am
wondering from your "expert" point of view, how would/should/could we
better present WIDS/WIPS info aka technical advantages and capabilities
or the business benefits of WLAN? 

Is it fair to say that the leading info source for WLAN Sec Best
Practices is the NIST Wireless Security Checklist based on ISO 17799?


Sincerely,
Phillip Lay
