WEP encryptionI came to a small company that had WEP encryption. I am trying to convince
them to at least go with WPA. They think WEP is good enough. Do insurance companies look at such things when investigating claims from damages resultant from a wireless breach? I though I would thro that at them also. Craig -- Hi

How ever you can be sure that if something happens and there is litigation about the issue it would come up and might reduce the insurance carrier responsibly.

Part of their reluctance may be spending more money. I doubt there would be any precedent for reduced insurance coverage due to using established wireless security methods (WEP) but just not the most rigorous (WPA). MSNews wrote:
