This guide summarizes leading practices and technical guidance for securing networks from wireless threats and for securely implementing wireless access to networks.
While there are many different steps that can be taken to secure a wireless network, these 12 best practices are essential for ensuring that your data and devices are safe from malicious actors. 1. Enabling Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) Two-factor authentication adds an extra layer of security to the login process.
Encrypting your wireless data prevents anyone who might be able to access your network from viewing it. There are several encryption protocols available to provide this protection. Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA), WPA2, and WPA3 encrypt information being transmitted between wireless routers and wireless devices.
The security of each WLAN is heavily dependent on how well each WLAN component—including client devices, access points (AP), and wireless switches—is secured throughout the WLAN lifecycle, from initial WLAN design and deployment through ongoing maintenance and monitoring.
WLAN and the weak security configurations often used for WLANs (to favor convenience over security). The purpose of this publication is to help organizations improve their WLAN security by providing recommendations for WLAN security configuration and monitoring.
The following list includes best practices to secure WIDS/WIPS sensor networks. Administrators should tailor these practices based on local considerations and applicable compliance requirements. For more in-depth guidance, see Guidelines for Securing Wireless Local Area Networks .
