wireless security
Wi-Fi access control
Wireless security refers to the measures and protocols that protect data transmitted over Wi-Fi and other wireless networks from unauthorized access, interception, or attack.
Because wireless signals travel through the air rather than through cables, they're inherently more vulnerable to eavesdropping, making encryption and authentication essential.
Common standards include WPA2 and WPA3, which encrypt traffic between devices and routers.
The IT department upgraded our wireless security after the breach.
Good wireless security also involves strong passwords, network segmentation, and keeping firmware updated.
