๐ถ WiFi Security Basics: Is Your Network Protected?
Your WiFi network connects employees, computers, phones, and other devices to the resources they use every day. A few basic security practices can help reduce unnecessary risk.
๐ Use a Strong Password
Choose a unique, difficult to guess WiFi password and avoid sharing it unnecessarily.
โ๏ธ Keep Equipment Updated
Router and access point updates can include important security fixes. Keep firmware and network equipment up to date.
๐ก๏ธ Use Strong Encryption
Use WPA3 when supported, or WPA2 when WPA3 isnโt available, rather than older security standards.
๐ฅ Create a Guest Network
Keep guest and personal devices separate from the network used for business systems and resources.
๐ก Review Your Network Settings
Settings such as network visibility should be configured intentionally. Hiding the network name alone is not a substitute for strong encryption and authentication.
๐ป Monitor Connected Devices
Regularly review which devices are connected and investigate anything you donโt recognize.
WiFi is part of your IT infrastructure, so protect it like any other business system.
