In the modern interconnected world, Operating a Wi-Fi network is most common in every organization and house and effective in the world of evolving cyber threats. Home WiFi utilizes a modern router while the modem connects to the internet and the router channels the signal. However, people log in to every network on their devices and never consider it unless something went unethical. In this regard, Essential InfoSec as an information security consulting firm provides effective expert cyber security services for securing wireless penetration such as Wi-Fi Network.  

Process of securing Wi-Fi Network

• The initial step regarding a Wi-Fi network is changing the default password and SSID (“Service Set Identifier”) which can be easily accessible or guessable and SSIDs that can reveal the router type as it provides significant information to the attackers.
• Secondly, avoiding public Wifi is another important step as it is found that approximately 40% of respondents have been hacked and compromised their valuable information by utilizing public Wifi Network and the majority of 35% people use public wifi 3 to 4 times within a month. 
• Enabling a WPA3 encryption is a significant measure for securing data through Wi-Fi networks as it ensures comprehensive protection against brute-force attacks to safeguarding individual data and it is reported that around 41% data risks have been mitigated by WPA3.
