Devices like printers are implemented into nearly every organisation’s corporate infrastructure, yet often little thought is put into considering the security risks
Wireless networks are used by many organisations to provide easy connectivity to corporate networks. These wireless networks however are often prone to attack, allowing an attacker an easy way in to your corporate network.
What Challenges Can Be Addressed By Wireless Network Penetration Testing?
Weak Encryption
Wireless network penetration testing identifies the use of outdated or weak encryption standards (e.g., WEP, weak WPA/WPA2 passwords) that make it easier for attackers to decrypt traffic and gain unauthorised access to network data.
Rogue Access Points
Wireless network penetration testing detects unauthorised access points connected to the network, which can be used by attackers to bypass network security controls and capture sensitive information from unsuspecting users.
Insufficient Access Controls
Wireless network penetration testing evaluates the effectiveness of network access controls and policies to ensure only authorised devices and users can connect to the wireless network, thereby reducing the risk of unauthorised access.
Vulnerabilities in Network Protocols
Wireless network penetration testing uncovers vulnerabilities due to misconfigured client devices that could lead to unauthorised network access or information leakage, such as devices automatically connecting to malicious networks.
Evil Twin Attacks
Identifies vulnerabilities that could allow attackers to set up malicious access points mimicking legitimate ones to deceive users into connecting, facilitating man-in-the-middle attacks or credential theft.
Wireless Network Flaws
Assesses the network for specific wireless vulnerabilities, such as flaws in the implementation of WPA3 or vulnerabilities within the Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) that could allow for brute-force attacks or unauthorised network access.
