Yes ....
... from a Corporate point of view, only WPA2 EAP (with RADIUS authentication) is 'acceptable' (a hacker would need to know legitimate users log-in name & password )
Google for 'WPA2 security setup'

From a business standpoint, it is a much better idea to go with a wired network. Not only is it more secure, but more reliable and much faster. Did you mean WPA encryption? WEP is outdated and can be cracked in about 60 secs. If you are using WEP right now you must upgrade to WPA. If you're going to go with wireless, make sure to turn off SSID broadcasting and use Mac Address filtering along with a software firewall. You might want to look into VMware. Its a virtual machine you install on your PC and then run a browser appliance in this Virtual PC. It encrypts all of your data and is very secure. If anyone happens to download a virus, malware, spyware, etc. it is contained in the virtual PC and doesn't infect the actual host PC, so when you close VMware everything just gets erased and each time you start the appliance you are starting with a fresh system.

Yeah it is. Even with improved WEP encryption hackers will find a way to hack in to your WI-FI network.

It can be a security risk but then so can connecting to the internet via a cable directly from computer to phone line.
