At the corporate level, these cannot be overstated:

- A corporate security policy stating clearly what are the standards and accepted procedures for use of computing resources and remote access procedures. For instance, when connecting to a public open network, SSL must be used when entering passwords on a website. (Quick hint: Did you know that when you log into your GMail using the page https://gmail.google.com instead of http://www.gmail.com, the entire session is encrypted--not just the login page. That's a great safety measure when reading your email on an open wireless network in a public place.

- Security Awareness Training for employees. This is a training that tells users what is network security, what computer security risks exist, how to be surf securely when on an open wireless network, and general security education. It can be conducted by a knowledgeable IT person or by an outside professional. This also reviews the corporate security policy stated above, to make sure end users fully understand it.
