Hi Peter,
The best thing you can recommend by far to your client
is using static arp tables. If the data is very
sensitive that's the best you can do to protect from
arp poisoning. Even in large networks a procedure can
be implemented to keep the arp tabels up to date.
Also, another method to protect data against this
attack (partially) is to use encryption for all data,
not only the logins. Why not only the login? Because
usualy MITM attacks takes place after the login. And
because sensitive data like e-mails travel unencrypted
after the initial login.
Have secure phun,
Dan
