Are there special security risks using the wireless network?
Just like the Internet, accessing any public network has its risks. The NSCC Wireless network uses encryption only when you log in to your NSCC NetID account. Other services that provide secure transmission -like access to Online Services or select mail accounts – will continue to be secure on a wireless network. However, the level of security of your transactions, files on your harddrive and general web surfing will depend on the level of security precautions you have taken with your computer.
