Wal-Mart use wireless technology throughout their store. Voice over IP lets you communicate over the internet and avoid the charges that is normally receive from a long distance carrier, it is like transmitting a voice call over a computer data network.
How do they apply the four principles of network security?

Confidentiality which is that the information the company has is used just by a person who is authorized. A good example could be a holder of a Wal-mart Credit Card, this person can view their statement when login in with their user ID and Password. There is always threats that’s why it is recommended to create passwords that would include capital letters, symbols etc. Wal-mart uses a technology called Secure Sockets layer (SSL) which encrypts over the internet.
Authenticity which is making sure that the information comes from a trustable source
Integrity which is making sure that certain information has not been altered. An example could be a credit card statement showing a balance with the correct credit cards charges.
Availability which is knowing that the service is available at all times. Wal-mart gets orders to its customers on time and to make sure they have an IDS which lets see the network traffic for intrusion attempts and reports them, this works by having information about different types of network attacks and matching an attack in progress.
