Wireless security

The lack of protection of wireless networks and devices makes them susceptible to a variety of cyber-attacks. By configuring and using your devices properly, you can protect yourself from such threats.

  • Update all the software's / firmware on existing equipment's to ensure it is free of known vulnerabilities.

  • Capture network logs (i.e., live packet captures) to aid in the investigation of malicious network activity.

  • Your network should have a wireless intrusion detection system (WIDS) and a wireless intrusion prevention system (WIPS).

  • Always keep an eye out for rogue access points.

  • Set up multi-factor authentication (MFA) for users to access the network. If this isn't possible, think about using Active Directory Service authentication instead of using a single shared password.

  • Monitor/Detect (802.11a/b/g/n/ac ) devices connected to the wireless network.
