Wireless networks

Wireless networks or Wi-Fi networks are computer networks that use wireless communication to transmit data between devices. Unlike traditional wired networks that use cables to connect devices, wireless networks use radio waves to transmit data over the air. This allows devices such as laptops, smartphones, tablets, and other Wi-Fi-enabled devices to connect to the internet and exchange data without the need for physical cables.

Wireless networks are typically created using a wireless router, which acts as a central hub for transmitting and receiving data. Wireless networks are also subject to certain security risks, such as hacking and unauthorized access or installation of a rogue access point that creates a wireless network (wireless access point, or WAP). To protect against these risks, it is important for the risk manager to secure the wireless network with strong encryption, such as WPA2, and frequently train employees on using secure networks while accessing...
