WLAN security: how to make your wireless network into a fortress
Whether you’re using a private or business network, the need for security is a top priority. Traditional networks that use cables can provide some protection against external attacks. This is because without physical access to the cables, which are located throughout buildings, strangers cannot easily intercept or read data.
However, if you want to use a more practical wireless network, you run the risk of encountering security problems. Empty space is used instead of cables for transferring data, and the range is not measured by the length of the cable, but by the strength of radio signals. If a device in the wireless local network – better known as WLAN – sends data, a spy only needs a receiver within the range of transmitted radio signals to intercept this data. To use the wireless communication path without any worries, it is important to ensure you have good WLAN security.
