Almost every week, we hear that yet another company has been “hacked” due to poor WiFi security practices. Somebody has broken into their data networks and stolen valuable private information like the personal identification, credit card, and banking information of their customers.
But it’s not just large organizations that get attacked. If you have WiFi in your home, you also have a data network, and you could be vulnerable, too.
If you bank and shop online, a lot of your confidential data travels over your network. You may also keep private information on the computers, phones, or tablets that you use to connect to your WiFi. If your WiFi isn’t secure, all that information could be targeted.
Finally, other people may try to use your WiFi simply to avoid paying for their own. You may think this isn’t an issue if your Internet plan has unlimited data, but having too many devices connected to your WiFi network can slow it down dramatically.
In your home, you have a gateway (also known as a router, modem or access point) that you use to connect to the Internet. Most devices offer a choice of three ways to secure your network:
Please note: These options can only prevent unauthorized access to your WiFi network. It would be best if you still had anti-virus protection to protect the apps and information on your computers, tablets, and mobile devices. Every time you go online, use social media, browse a website, or open an email, you could be vulnerable to viruses, worms, trojans, malware, and other attacks.
