Analysis and Summary of potential wireless network security risks

Security issues have always been a hot issue we have discussed. Through the analysis of wireless network security risks, we can understand some potential security risks. Let's take a look at the specific content. Many enterprises have deployed wireless networks to facilitate their daily office work. In the wired network era, to log on to the enterprise wireless network, you must insert the network cable into the switch of the enterprise network. After the wireless network is deployed, the network cable must be within the coverage of the wireless network, you can log on to the enterprise network.

You may wish to boldly imagine that an attacker can easily access the enterprise network outside the enterprise office by holding a notebook with a wireless network card. Without intention, the enterprise wireless network has become the door to leaks, wireless Network Security must be highly valued.

What are the potential risks of wireless network security?

It is true that the emergence of wireless networks greatly facilitates the daily work of enterprises. In the past, enterprise employees frequently moved through various conference rooms, often suffering from insufficient network interfaces and wireless networks. enterprise employees can log on to the network in every corner of the company. Because the wireless network is a networking mode that uses air as the transmission medium, it has a certain degree of openness, and wireless networks also have certain security risks.

In the practical application of wireless networks, security risks are mainly reflected in the following aspects:

1. Stolen network bandwidth

Many enterprises use wireless routers or wireless aps to build a wireless network. Unauthorized access personnel can steal the bandwidth resources of the enterprise as long as they are covered by the wireless network of the enterprise. In this way, the bandwidth of the enterprise network is stolen by illegal access personnel. If illegal access users have nothing to do with video chats and P2P downloads are used to download bandwidth-consuming Internet applications, the enterprise network will be congested.

2. Leakage of business secrets

Enterprise Networks usually store some of the company's business contracts and customer information. Once intruders successfully log on to the wireless network, their business secrets will be threatened. Due to the lack of computer security awareness of many enterprise employees, the computer password is usually empty or very simple. In this case, after intruders log on to the enterprise network, isn't the company's trade secrets exposed to intruders? Intruders can copy, delete, or modify enterprise data at will, and their normal operations will also be affected.

3. Endangering Enterprise Computer Security

Nowadays, some skilled "hackers" can control the computer of the enterprise network over the Internet. Wireless Networks are no exception. Open wireless networks create convenient conditions for hackers to intrude into enterprise networks. Once a hacker logs on to the enterprise network, the enterprise's computer will be played by the hacker. overnight, the hard disk of the enterprise's computer will not be formatted as an alarmist.

It is true that the emergence of wireless networks has improved office efficiency and brought about great security risks. To this end, enterprise network management must be carefully protected to create a secure wireless network. From a technical point of view, to ensure the security of enterprise wireless networks, the essence is to prohibit unauthorized use of wireless networks. Many enterprises use encryption to prohibit unauthorized use.
