Wireless Security

Wireless security encompasses the measures taken to protect wireless networks and the data transmitted over them from unauthorized access, eavesdropping, and attack. It includes using strong encryption (WPA3 or WPA2-Enterprise), implementing authentication controls, monitoring for rogue access points, and restricting wireless access in areas where CUI is processed.

Wireless networks are inherently more exposed than wired networks because signals travel through the air and can be intercepted from outside your facility. Extra precautions are needed, particularly in environments handling sensitive data.
