Do You Trust Your Home Wi-Fi? | |

Weve been talking a lot lately on how crucial it is for organizations to enable a Trusted Wireless Environment. Now that working remotely is our new normal, and not every company is able to send an AP225W wall plate access point home with everyone, we covered 5 tips that would keep remote workers safe and Wi-Fi hackers away in a previous blog, but heres a refresher:
Although these Wi-Fi tips will keep you and your loved ones safe, they wont always protect you against the six known Wi-Fi threat categories.
All these threats are not new and have been around since Wi-Fi went mainstream 21 years ago. But one thing that has remained the same and is so shocking to me there are no security standards around Layer 2 Wi-Fi to keep Wi-Fi users like you and me safe. This is why Im advocating for change. We all deserve to connect to Wi-Fi we can trust. I want to be able to connect to Wi-Fi at home or in my favorite coffee shop and not have to look around wondering if the person sitting next to me on their laptop is a hacker. Hackers prefer to go after Wi-Fi because its the weak link in the security chain and it doesnt take much to hack into a Wi-Fi network. So, what can we do today to help build the future of a secure Wi-Fi standard across the world? Everyone can join the Trusted Wireless Environment movement and advocate for global security standard for Wi-Fi. Visit www.TrustedWirelessEnvironment.com today! Every signature we collect will help us partner with organizations such as the Congressional Wi-Fi Caucus, WiFiForward, PCI Security Standards Council, Wi-FiNOW, IEEE, and Wi-Fi Alliance to name a few. These organizations help build security standards for businesses around the world and we want to join forces by collaborating with them to make this world a safer place. |
