wirelessA connection that does not need wires and transmits data through radio signals.networkA group of interconnected computers/devices. are often seen as less secure than wired networks for a number of reasons:
Anyone can connect to an open wireless network if they are in range of the signal. The boundary of the network is not set and does not stop when it reaches the walls of a home or business.
No physical connection is needed, which makes it more difficult to see who is connected to the network.
There are a number of ways to create extra security for wireless networks that can be used in both home and office networks:
ensure the wireless network uses encryptionFiles that are encrypted have been altered using a secret code and are unreadable to unauthorised parties., so it is not easy for someone to eavesdrop on the traffic being sent to and from a mobile device
create a MAC addressMedia access control - each unique piece of hardware on a network has a MAC address.whitelistOnly the device addresses on the list are allowed to access the network. so that only specific devices can access a particular network
