WIRELESS – ANÁLISE DE VULNERABILIDADES EM REDES DE COMPUTADORES SEM FIO EM UMA EMPRESA DO POLO DUAS RODAS

Abstract

This article highlights the importance of analyzing vulnerabilities in wireless computer networks to ensure information security and data protection in a specific company. During the project, several vulnerabilities were identified, such as inadequate security configurations, lack of strong authentication, use of outdated encryption protocols, and absence of network segregation. These vulnerabilities represent significant risks to the integrity, confidentiality, and availability of data transmitted and stored in wireless networks. However, through the implementation of appropriate mitigation measures, it is possible to strengthen the security of wireless networks and reduce these risks. It is recommended to update security configurations, such as changing default passwords, using strong encryption, and adopting multi-factor authentication. Additionally, network segregation is essential to protect the internal network against unauthorized access. By following these measures, the company will strengthen the security of its wireless networks, ensuring data protection, information privacy, and business continuity. It is important to emphasize that vulnerability analysis in wireless networks should be an ongoing process, adapting to new threats and technologies, to ensure continuous network security and the protection of the company's information assets.
