What is Wireless Security technology?

Wireless security is the prevention of unauthorized access or damage to computers or data using wireless networks, which include Wi-Fi networks.

 

Many laptop computers have wireless cards pre-installed. The ability to enter a network while mobile has great benefits. However, wireless networking is prone to some security issues.

 

Hackers have found wireless networks relatively easy to break into, and even use wireless technology to hack into wired networks. As a result, it is very important that enterprises define effective wireless security policies that guard against unauthorized access to important resources.

 

Wireless Intrusion Prevention Systems (WIPS) or Wireless Intrusion Detection Systems (WIDS) are commonly used to enforce wireless security policies.

 

The risks to users of wireless technology have increased as the service has become more popular. There were relatively few dangers when wireless technology was first introduced. Hackers had not yet had time to latch on to the new technology, and wireless networks were not commonly found in the workplace. However, there are many security risks associated with the current wireless protocols and encryption methods, and in the carelessness and ignorance that exists at the user and corporate IT level. Hacking methods have become much more sophisticated and innovative with wireless access. Hacking has also become much easier and more accessible with easy-to-use Windows- or Linux-based tools being made available on the web at no charge.

Challenges

Corporates protect their wired network from unauthorized access by using firewalls and NAC.

 

They protect wireless networks by configuring enterprise authentication and appropriate encryption.

How can this technology help you?

Security gateways protect the corporate network from introduction of malware and information leakage.

Airborne Attacks

  • Unauthorized access to corporate network
    • Abuse corporate / user devices with dual connectivity
    • WifiDirect, Shadow AP, User Hot Spots

  • Network and device hijacking
    • Evil Twins and Rogue Aps used to force connection.
    • Grab credentials
    • Inject malware and certificates.

  • Data Leakage
    • Infected machines and malicious insiders connect to external networks.
