Wireless security refers to the practices and protocols used to protect wireless networks from unauthorized access, eavesdropping, and attacks, including encryption standards like WPA2/WPA3, secure authentication methods, and intrusion detection. Cybersecurity professionals and network administrators implement these measures to safeguard Wi-Fi networks in homes, businesses, and public venues from threats such as rogue access points and packet sniffing. Expertise in wireless security is important for protecting sensitive data transmitted over increasingly ubiquitous wireless infrastructure.
