Unsecured WiFi Exposes Everything

An unsecured wireless network is an open invitation. Attackers within range can intercept traffic, launch man-in-the-middle attacks, and gain access to your internal network — all without ever setting foot in your building. For Metro Detroit businesses in shared office buildings or retail locations, wireless security is critical.

WPA3 and Enterprise Authentication

WPA3 is the current WiFi security standard and should be enabled on all business access points. For higher security, enterprise authentication (WPA2/3-Enterprise with RADIUS) requires individual credentials for each user rather than a shared password. This means you can revoke access for a specific employee without changing the password for everyone.

Network Segmentation for WiFi

Your business WiFi should be segmented: a corporate network for employee devices with full access, a guest network with internet-only access and no visibility into internal systems, and an IoT network for printers, cameras, and smart devices. This prevents a compromised guest device from accessing your servers.

Rogue Access Point Detection

Employees sometimes plug in personal routers or access points, creating unauthorized network entry points. Wireless intrusion detection systems (WIDS) continuously scan for rogue access points and alert your IT team immediately. MetroTec includes rogue AP detection in our network monitoring service for Metro Detroit businesses.
