With the purpose of raising public’s awareness of current Macao’s Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) environment and its use and security, ISACA Macao Chapter has organized in Macao along with Macau New Technologies Incubator Centre (MANETIC) and other IT related professional information technology and information security associations, Macao’s third wireless environment audit survey. The report of the survey was delivered on 6^th November 2009 at Manetic Seminar Room.

This 2009 audit survey report is the result of data collection performed on 12^th September by the act of detection of WLAN access points in the designated routes around Macao, Taipa and Coloane.

Three significant issues were found from the data in regard to improvement in the use of encryption schemes: 1) 79% access points detected are using the built-in security settings; 2) 53% users of security use a weak form of security (WEP) and 3) 20% users of security use the strongest form of security (WPA2).

To explore much more details of the report for your better understanding of Macao's current WLAN environment, please download the Wardriving Macao 2009 Report.
