The treaty is being drafted by the 41-nation Council of Europe. The United States and other major computer countries also would join the treaty. Its draft proposals would require Internet service providers to log traffic to aid law enforcement agencies and would coordinate criminalization of computer hacking and other activities.

But too often the technology officers who open these teleworking doors don't realize they also may be opening security doors.
Many companies begin using wireless communication without installing additional security measures.
Technology officers also may be inclined to look for a turnkey security system, but this often won't do the whole job. First, define the security requirements. This includes such things as limits of use or access, risks involved in opening a wireless door, etc. Second, research potential solutions. This obviously includes looking at existing security products.
