What is Wireless network security?
In short
Wireless network security protects Wi-Fi networks with strong encryption, strong passphrases, separate guest networks and monitoring for unauthorized access points.
Key takeaways
- Rogue access points and fake hotspots imitating trusted networks can intercept traffic.
- Default router passwords and settings should always be changed.
- Corporate networks often require individual user authentication rather than one shared password.
